Novel thermodynamic cycles utilising waste BOS gas from an Integrated Steel Production Process

二氧化碳污染被广泛认为是人类面临的最大挑战。造成这一现象的两个主要因素是发电和工业流程，包括钢铁生产。我们显然需要找到减少污染的新方法；目前的碳捕获方法成本高昂，这是广泛采用的障碍。一项具有减少发电碳排放潜力的技术是Net Power的Allam循环，它以煤为燃料，通过碳捕获和储存(CCS)高效地生产电力。与现有方法相比，该方法的效率提高了50%以上。该项目旨在开发燃煤技术的应用，既能经济高效地展示其运营，又能实现工业CCS。该测试工厂将为SSI等钢铁生产商尝试一种方法，以减少其工厂的有害和代价高昂的排放，帮助保护环境，并允许其工厂继续运营，保护数千个就业岗位。

Carbon dioxide pollution is widely acknowledged to be the single greatest challenge facing humanity. Two major contributors to this are power generation and industrial processes, including steel production.There is a clear need to find new ways of reducing the pollution; current methods of 'carbon capture' are costly, which represents a barrier to widespread adoption. One technology which offers the potential to reduce carbon emissions from power generation is NET Power's Allam Cycle, which takes in coal as a fuel and efficiently produces electricity with carbon capture & storage (CCS). This approach improves the efficiency by more than 50% compared with current methods. This project seeks to develop the coal-fired application of the technology to both cost-effectively demonstrate its operation and achieve industrial CCS. The test plant will trial a way for steel producers such as SSI to reduce the harmful and costly emissions from their plants, helping the environment and allowing their plants to stay open, safeguarding thousands of jobs.
