FReSMe – From Residual Steel gases

to Methanol

Trondheim 14th June 2017


The ECN approach towards

decarbonisation of the steel industry

Realisation

• Fuel costs and energy are almost synonymous

• After energy content, separation is the main driver for efficient operation

• A more efficient separation of CO2 from residual steel gases leads directly to more energy for commodity production

Implementation

• Develop low energy separation technologies

• De-risk upscaling through a tailored TRL approach

• Build the right consortium for the job


• Recycle more iron scrap

• Use reductants with a lower CO2 foot print – Methane, hydrogen, electrical routes

• Use a new emerging technology – e.g. HIsarna

• Reuse emitted carbon species – Convert CO/CO2 into value added compounds

• Capture CO2 and sequestrate permanently

Routes the reduce CO2 emissions

from a steel plant

Very Fuel Sensitive

Widely practiced

More efficient heat use

Non-electricity valorization

Long term solution


• Decarbonisation of blast furnace gas

• Utilization of the energy content of the residual steel gases for methanol synthesis

• Usage of low power prices to provide affordable H2 for steel making

• Recovery of valuable components from residual steel gases

• Separation technologies for the purification of CO2 based products

FReSMe Project Introduction


FReSMe Consortium


FReSMe Project

• FReSMe started in November 2016, and is funded by H2020 Programme

• Project data: 11 European partners - 11,4 M€ - 48 months

• Objective:

To demonstrate feasibility of valorising CO2 and H2 capture from blast furnace gases (BFG) by turning into a versatile platform chemical and renewable fuel such as Methanol (MeOH)

• Benefits: • Add value to CO2 capture

• Increase competitiveness of the steel industry

• Reduce the European dependency from fossil fuels


Main actions

• FReSMe is implemented through the following main activities:

• Underpinning lab developments (catalyst, sorbent, process optimization)

• Pilot plant construction, test campaigns and Methanol production

• Life cycle analysis for evaluating the impact of the technology

• End user demonstration: use of methanol in the Germanica Ferry

• The pilot plant will run for a total of three months divided in three different configurations of the operation conditions. Nominal production rate expected: up to 50 kg/hr from an input of 800 m3/hr BFG

• The target is to demonstrate the technology in a relevant environment (TRL6)


Project implementation

Demonstrate TRL6 with 3 campaigns of 1 month, 800m3/hr BFG, 50 kg/hr Methanol


FReSMe will supply methanol to the

Stena Germanica: Kiel-Gothenburg
