**Need**CO2-emissions from steel and cement account for 15% of global emissions. A portfolio of solutions, including carbon capture, is needed to decarbonise these hard-to-abate sectors and transition to net-zero. UKGOV has introduced policies to support the decarbonisation of steel-making , including the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), and the Carbon Capture and Storage Infrastructure Fund.The steel industry's decarbonisation efforts are shifting from traditional production techniques (BF-BOF) to alternatives (DRI-EAF). This has has two adverse effects on cement and steel industries:1. Reduced availability of ground-granulated blast furnace slag(GGBFS), which the low-carbon cement industry relies on as a supplementary cementitious material(SCM) and appreciable source of revenue for steel producers.2. Increased production of Electric Arc Furnace(EAF) and Stainless Steel(SS) slags, which are typically landfilled, at a cost-to-the-manufacturer.**Opportunity**Both EAF/SS slags are effective feedstocks for metal-carbonation reactions that sequester CO2, and in some instances can be valorised and serve as effective SCMs.However, scaling carbon capture and SCM production with these materials have been held back by high-energy costs of comminution, and varied mineralogy of EAF and SS slags. Both hampering the deployment of this gigatonne-scale synergistic approach to decarbonising two globally important industries.**Solution**Cocoon has developed a unique, patent-pending process that captures CO2-emissions made during steel production, and mineralises them within the molten waste from the same production process. The concept has been proven (TRL3).Now, working with with Leeds University's School of Civil Engineering and the Materials Processing Institute, we intend to refine and scale-up the process to industrial levels - demonstrating its effectiveness against slag from next-generation steel production (e.g. EAF and SS slags), enabling rapid commercialisation post-project.This provides profitable routes for deep-decarbonisation and the technology has the potential for gigatonne-scale CO2 removal - unlocking a £274m/annum revenue opportunity for Cocoon by 2031 with ~50% exports.

**需要**钢和水泥的二氧化碳排放量占全球排放量的15％。需要脱碳的解决方案（包括碳捕获）的投资组合，以使这些难以抗化的领域脱碳并过渡到零。 UKGOV提出了支持钢制造的脱碳的政策，包括英国排放贸易计划（ETS）和碳捕获和存储基础设施基金。钢铁行业的脱碳工作正在从传统生产技术（BF-BOF）转移到替代方案（DRI-FEAF）。这对水泥和钢铁行业有两个不利影响：1。低碳水泥行业的可用性降低了地面喷砂炉炉灶（GGBF），其依赖于补充水泥材料（SCM）和钢铁生产商的可观收入来源2。 Increased production of Electric Arc Furnace(EAF) and Stainless Steel(SS) slags, which Both EAF/SS slags are effective feedstocks for metal-carbonation reactions that sequester CO2, and in some instances can be valorised and serve as effective SCMs.However, scaling carbon capture and SCM production with these materials have been held back by high-energy costs of commission, and varied minerology of EAF and SS slags.既妨碍了这种Gigatonne级的协同方法来脱碳，以使两个全球重要的行业脱碳。该概念已被证明（TRL3）。现在，与利兹大学的土木工程学院和材料处理研究所合作，我们打算将过程完善并扩大到工业水平的过程 - 证明其对下一代钢生产的有效性Gigatonne -Scale CO2删除 - 到2031年，茧释放了2.74亿英镑/年的收入机会，出口约为50％。
