Steelanol is eliminating the GHG emissions of 50 000 ton of coal and 80 million liter of gasoline over the total chain. Based on Life Cycle Assessment studies the process realizes GHG savings > 70%, as required by RED II and without any food or land use issues. ArcelorMittal Gent has optimised innovative solutions to replace coke by injected carbon (coal or cellulosic waste) and oxygen which is gasified during blow in at the bottom of the BF.
