Novel adaptation for existing blast furnaces could reduce steelmaking emissions by 88%; closed-loop carbon recycling

Green Car Congress

This reduction is achieved through a closed-loop carbon recycling system, which could replace 90% of the coke typically used in current blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace systems and produces oxygen as a byproduct. A double perovskite, Ba 2 Ca 0.66 The TC-BF-BOF System with mass flows needed to produce 1 Tonne of liquid steel. Kildahl et al.

National labs team delivers techno-economic analyses of H2 DRI scenarios for green steel

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (H 2 -DRI) is an alternative pathway for low-carbon steel production. Yet, the lack of established process and business models defining “green steel” make it difficult to understand what the respective H 2 price has to be in order to be competitive with commercial state-of-the-art natural gas DRI. …

What we don’t admit about carbon dioxide

Electric Auto Association

Intuitive misconceptions about this harmful gas slows EV adoption By PETER DOUGLAS: MEMBER, ELECTRIC AUTO ASSOCIATION. The decision to purchase an electric vehicle (EV) over an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle involves several factors. If we called it that, folks might take it more seriously. Nice association, right?

Monash study on solar-driven electrolysis for green hydrogen production cautions on life-cycle emissions and EROI

Green Car Congress

Along with hydrogen production and use, an energy transition will involve the synchronous upscaling of renewable electricity, batteries, and energy use technologies. The materials and metals demanded by a low-carbon economy are projected to be immense and create challenges along the full supply pathway. —Palmer et al.

Insight into benzene formation could help development of cleaner combustion engines

Green Car Congress

The researchers say that their findings, recently published in an open-access paper in the journal Science Advances , are key to understanding how the universe evolved with the growth of carbon compounds. That insight could also help the car industry make cleaner combustion engines. PAHs have a dark side, too.
