Life Cycle Assessment of Step-Change Technologies for Steel Industry Decarbonisation

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The research questions of the study are the following:- What Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) methodologies need to be developed / applied to ensure the best options in environmental terms for steel industry decarbonisation can be identified?- How can LCA methods be linked to other techniques for assessing step change technologies in the steel industry e.g. techno-economic assessment?- What are the challenges in developing LCA models to make predictive environmental assessments of novel technological processes?- How should LCA inform industrial decarbonisation policies?- What is the best or more viable CCU option for HIsarna?- What studies / projects have already completed a process design for this CCU option?- How do the environmental impacts from the CCU route compare to the conventional HIsarna route and the blast furnace route?- What are the bottlenecks in terms of environmental impacts for this technology?
