MISSION

"We are advancing the sustainable development of integrated and industrial energy systems based on renewable energy sources
and want to help shape a climate-neutral future through excellent research."

Energy efficiency and demand side management in steel by the use of oxyfuel an CCU technology

OxySteel encompasses the increase of energy efficiency b the use of novel technologies and he evaluation of DSM potentials in a steel mill. The first goal is tachled by the development and implementation of a new process design using oxy-fuel combustion and CCU. The second objective is to identify flexibilities for the increased use of renewsable energy sources and possibile grid service.

 

The steel industry is a facinating area of research because efficiency measures have a big impact. For example after the implementation of OxySteel, we expect annual energy savings of 12 GWh. This equates to approx 10% of the annual gas consumption a subsequent technology rollout, the savings are multible thereof.
