The steel industry accounts for 4% of all the CO2 emissions in Europe and 22% of the industrial carbon emissions in Europe.Hydrogen is one way of reducing emissions in the steel sector, either as an auxiliary reducing agent in a blast furnace (H2-BF), which was covered in part 1 of this series, or as the sole reducing agent (H2-DRI) in a process known as direct …
Direct Reduction Process into Existing Steel Mills N. Müller, G. Herz, E. Reichelt, M. Jahn Fraunhofer IKTS, Dresden, Germany Abstract In the context of climate change, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in all economic sectors is considered to be an important factor in order to meet the demands of a sustainable energy system. The steel ...
The main facilities are located in the Contrecoeur area (Quebec), which includes 2 steel making facilities, a direct reduction Midrex complex, a bar mill and a rod mill. The company has also another bar mill in Longueuil, and wire mills in Montreal, and Hamilton Canada.
This has successfully been achieved without compromising the quality of the produced steel. At the same time, ISPC is always conducting research on better ways to produce higher quality products.
