Found a very insightful article that describes the future of energy and heavy engineering.

The World Economic Forum and First Movers Coalition selected Coolbrook's revolutionary RotoDynamic Technology as the top-ranking furnace technology to enable Near-Zero steel by 2030. We can cut CO2 emissions by a whopping 2.4 billion tons annually of which an estimated 600 million tons in steel industry alone. Now the official video is out - pretty cool, huh? "Coolbrook (Finland) provided the highest-ranked furnace technology submission. Their RotoDynamic Technology is designed to generate high-temperature process heat up to 1,700 degrees Celsius. It is powered by electrification, removing the need to burn fossil fuels to create high temperatures. It can potentially remove 600 megatonnes of iron and steel-related global CO2 emissions annually." #Coolbrook #electrification #decarbonization #steelindustry #innovation

If Coolbrook can achieve 1700C from their dynamic heater this is a major breakthrough for hard to decarbonise processes. Generally Nichrome electric heaters get expensive above about 900C with shorter lives and more material needed - above 1100C you tend to switch to SiC and then above 1400C you use MoSi2 elements. The other problem Coolbrook avoid is that with high temperature electric elements you have to get the electrical power to the element - this is surprisingly difficult as most good conductors won’t work at high temperatures and becomes even harder if the flow to be heated is pressurised.

Join our experts on Thursday January 25th at 8:00 EST for an interactive discussion where they will uncover the technical aspects, opportunities, challenges, and the competitive landscape of key #greensteel making technologies. Steelmaking's transition to greener processes is crucial for driving global efforts to reduce emissions. Current commercial #steelmaking technologies, such as the EAF and the BF-BOF systems, still need significant technological advancements to meet the emission reduction goals set for 2050.

Did you know that for every ton of #steel produced, two tons of #carbondioxide are emitted? With worldwide steel consumption increasing in the next two decades, we must address the #greensteel question now. Discover the insights from Dierk Raabe in this short video, where he sheds light on the importance of tackling the Green Steel challenge.

Reposting with the pdf of the article. I contributed to a recent interview article in Recycling Today on decarbonization in the metals industry including two largest sectors - steel and aluminum DeAnne Toto Recycling Today. Key points: 1. “decarbonization” is just another way to say less energy is being used in metal production. 2. “scrap” is the original and sustainable low carbon aluminum source #aluminum #steel #decarbonization #scrap International Aluminium Institute Nadya Ally The Aluminum Association Miles Prosser Beethika Biswas Usha Kesavan Muntasir Shahabuddin U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Light Metal Age AL Circle

One week left to take part in the NearZero Steel 2030 challenge! Join us in the NearZero Steel 2030 challenge, the initiative supported by the First Movers Coalition and the World Economic Forum for driving decarbonization in the steel industry. Including Meranti Green Steel, there have been more than 80 submissions worldwide and we hope that further steel manufacturers, purchasers, and tech innovators will join us in shaping the future of sustainable steel production. Let's make a difference together! The demand challenge 🏗  is for steel buyers to express interest in purchasing near-zero emissions steel. Visit: https://lnkd.in/g4jQzpJr The supply challenge  🏭 is for iron and steel makers to share their ambitions to supply near-zero emission iron and steel. Visit: https://lnkd.in/gSGe5q6y The enabling technology  💡 challenge is to source any technology that could support the iron and steel suppliers in decarbonising.

BlueScope to spend $1.15b on old-school steelmaking But CEO accepts that steel's technology shift is moving faster than he had predicted just two years ago. Which means BlueScope risks looking like a laggard sooner rather than later. https://lnkd.in/gepQnw9A #coal #steel #BlueScope #investing
