New Siemens electric arc furnace for steel-making cuts CO2 emissions by up to 30%; Tyasa incorporating first unit in new mill

Green Car Congress

However, the process consumes vast amounts of electricity, produces lots of carbon dioxide, and can lead to fluctuations in the stability of the power grid. Because the amount of scrap that is added is relatively low compared to the existing liquid steel, this process is referred to as flat-bath operation.

And the second one is what’s usually referred to as CCS carbon capture and storage, is more carbon capture in an industrial setting where you extract or capture CO 2 from industrial flue gases. But you are actively reducing the overall amount of CO 2 in the air, which is why it’s also referred to as a negative emission technology.
