Featured speaker We Don't Have TimeUK scientists discover method to reduce steelmaking’s CO2 emissions by 90%
90% CO2 reduction in the existing steel industry is possible, according to new research. The iron and steel industry accounts for 9% of global greenhouse gases. Researchers from the University of Birmingham have developed a method to reduce CO2 emissions from steelmaking by nearly 90% by converting CO2 into carbon monoxide that can be reused in the iron ore reaction in blast furnaces. The technology uses a thermochemical cycle that performs chemical reactions through changes in temperature, reducing emissions by the amount of coke needed. If implemented in two remaining blast furnaces in the UK, it could save ÂŁ1.28 billion in five years and reduce the country's overall emissions by 2.9%. The method can be retrofitted to existing plants, and the university has filed a patent application for the system. It is seeking partners for pilot studies and implementation.

I would love to hear SSAB's views on this new research. Can SSAB partner up? Or is the HYBRIT process better? Maybe this technology could be used as a transition technology.

This is a great technology which needs to be implemented. May many partners embrace the pilot project. The best part is that it can be retrofitted.
