Abstract [en]

The reducing of CO2 allowance promotes steel industry to mitigate CO2 emissions. Utilization of biomass e.g., as injectants in the blast furnace to replace pulverized coal (PC), has been proposed as one promising option to meet these requirements in the short- Term. The aim of this work is to integrate a biomass fast pyrolysis to the iron and steel industry and to investigate the potential effects on the energy consumption and CO2 emission. In this work, an iron and steel plant from Sweden was chosen as a case study. An optimization model was extended to cover the fast pyrolysis units in the system boundary. The fast pyrolysis plant produces different types of biomass products i.e., bio-char, bio-oil and bio-syngas. Different alternative to utilize biomass products within the system were included in the model. The investigation shows that the integration of a fast pyrolysis units has great potential on, not only reducing CO2 emission, the potential energy savings.
