Leading steel and mining company ArcelorMittal has begun construction of new premises at its site in Ghent, Belgium, to house a new installation which will convert carbon-containing gas from its blast furnaces into bioethanol. Commissioning and first production is expected by mid-2020. Earlier post.).

ArcelorMittal Europe is developing a series of industrial-scale hydrogen projects for use in blast furnace-based steelmaking that will start to deliver substantial CO 2 emissions savings even within the next five years, as well as progressing a project to test the ability of hydrogen to reduce iron ore and form DRI on an industrial scale.

The resulting bioethanol can cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than 80% compared with conventional fossil fuels. Today, this waste gas stream is either flared or used to heat and power the steel mill. LanzaTech’s technology, however, recycles the waste gases and ferments them with a proprietary microbe to produce bioethanol.

Working in combination, these lead to fuel savings and emissions cuts. Bodewes Binnenvaart was at that time starting to develop a low emissions concept for inland waterway shipping and the QaGroup was exploring using LNG as an alternative fuel. In addition, waste heat is used and becomes energy, so absolutely nothing is wasted.

Engineers have been able to integrate nearly every important optical function, including the essentials of modulation and detection, on silicon photonic chips, except for one: light emission. This would do away with any need for bonding or alignment, and it would reduce the amount of III-V material that is wasted.
