which has developed its own integrated subcritical-water organic-waste power-generation system (ISOP) system, which decomposes organic substances using subcritical-water-treating technology and ultimately produces green energy products such as biofuels. The products can be reused as green energy products such as bio-coal, biogas (e.g.,

ArcelorMittal inaugurates €200M Steelanol carbon capture and utilization project at Ghent plant

Green Car Congress

One of the four bioreactors used in the Steelanol plant being installed in 2021. The €35-million Torero project is designed to process sustainable biomass (initially in the form of waste wood that cannot be used in other applications) for use as a raw material input into the blast furnace, hence lowering the volume of fossil coal used.

Hyperbaric Centrifuge Technology Successfully Dewaters Coal Fines

Green Car Congress

A dewatering technology developed at Virginia Tech has succeeded in reducing the moisture content of ultrafine coal to less than 20%, transforming it to a salable product. During recent prototype tests at Arch Coal Company’s Cardinal plant in Logan County, W.Va., Roe-Hoan Yoon. as part of a license agreement with Virginia Tech.

ArcelorMittal Europe to produce “green steel” starting in 2020

Green Car Congress

By installing an electrolyzer, hydrogen can be produced and injected in large volumes into the blast furnace tuyeres. The project will reduce the volumes of coal needed in the iron ore reduction process, thereby cutting CO2 emissions. Previously, this emerging technology has only been tested at small pilot plants in Europe.
