Alternate Carbon Injection
A leading global steel producer engaged with Stellarix and requested alternatives to fossil carbon to reduce emissions. The study identified and evaluated injection and treatment technologies for alternate carbon sources, enabling the client to select suitable solutions, improve carbon injectability, and enhance production efficiency.
Client Background:
The client is one of the largest steel producers globally, having manufacturing in 16+ countries and customers in 155+ countries.
Engagement Objective:
The client was interested in reducing its carbon emissions by using alternatives to fossil carbon. The client wanted to identify various technologies for treating and injecting alternate carbon sources in the electric arc furnace for steel production. The objective included:
- Injection technologies developed for alternate carbon sources in the steel industry
- Novel injection technologies developed in other industries for different material sizes
- Treatment of alternate carbon sources to alter its granulometry and morphological properties
Client Impact:
The provided list of different solutions helped the client understand the existing deployed technologies and the technologies still under research. Comparative assessment of technologies helped the client select the most suitable technology for their product plant.
The pre-treatment technologies gave the client another perspective for further carbon injectability improvement.
Overall, the client was able to find the relevant technology for his use, and it helped them improve the overall production of all their plants.
