About

Objectives:

The aim of the project is to de-risk fundamental issues of the transformation process towards carbon-neutral iron and steel production with a system-level approach considering the whole production chain.

Expected Results:

• Direkt reduction and EAF: new know-how of physical&chemical processes, digitalisation & enhanced models, new measurement and control tools

• Prevention of process issues and product quality losses using low quality materials and residuals

• Recycling and processing concepts of residuals & low-quality materials in DR-EAF and mixed routes with BF-BOF

• Risk and Life cycle analysis of DR-EAF and mixed routes with BF-BOF

• Holistic optimisation of process integration and energy supply & management including H2 and derivates
