Carbon Recycling International and Johnson Matthey collaborate on sustainable methanol

Green Car Congress

Conventional methanol production involves fossil feedstocks such as natural gas or coal. This can be recovered from either industrial processes or biomass, such as waste and residues, or atmospheric sources. Hydrogen can also be processed from by-product hydrogen available in some industrial waste streams.

ArcelorMittal Europe to produce “green steel” starting in 2020

Green Car Congress

The strategy is centred around two main technology routes, as introduced in the first ArcelorMittal Europe climate action report published earlier this year: The use of hydrogen in DRI-EAF (Direct Reduced Iron - Electric Arc Furnace) and, also, the blast furnace. The expansion of its Smart Carbon route, also utilizing hydrogen.

ArcelorMittal investigates hydrogen-based direct reduction of iron ore for steel production; CDA

Green Car Congress

The Hamburg plant already has one of the most efficient production processes of the ArcelorMittal Group due to the use of natural gas in a direct reduction plant (DRI, direct reduced iron). The process is first tested with grey hydrogen (generated at gas separation) to allow for economical operation.

AHEAD proposing carbon-free ammonia fuel strategy to bring electricity rapidly to developing countries

Green Car Congress

At the 9 th annual NH 3 Fuel Conference in San Antonia, AHEAD chairman James Grieve outlined the three-step strategy for using associated gas—natural gas found with petroleum—to produce green fuels. As a “waste” byproduct of petroleum production, associated gas has conventionally been released to the atmosphere or flared.
