ArcelorMittal Europe to produce “green steel” starting in 2020

Green Car Congress

The project will reduce the volumes of coal needed in the iron ore reduction process, thereby cutting CO2 emissions. In due course it will enable green hydrogen to be injected into the blast furnace as it becomes available. This is the first large-scale implementation of what is essentially a hybrid blast furnace/DRI technology.

Calor introduces Neste BioLPG to the UK market; targeting fully renewable by 2040

Green Car Congress

Propane-rich off-gas is produced during Neste’s NExBTL renewable diesel process; the gas is usually recovered during the Stabilization and Recycle stages of the process. LPG, typically used for heating off the gas grid, transport and industrial applications, is already a flexible, low-carbon fuel compared to other fossil fuels.

Honeywells UOP and Total Petrochemicals Successfully Demonstrate Methanol-to-Olefins Technology to Produce Plastics

Green Car Congress

A demonstration unit built by Total Petrochemicals at its complex in Feluy, Belgium, has used UOP/Hydro MTO methanol-to-olefins technology to convert methanol to ethylene and propylene. Methanol is commonly produced from natural gas and coal. Earlier post.) The propylene was then successfully converted to polypropylene product.
