Paul Wurth as a global leader in ironmaking technology is actively working on CO2 reduction approaches for the blast furnace-based iron production route. The two main approaches are 1) to integrate CO2 lean hydrogen into the process, and 2) recycle the exhaust gas from the blast furnace in order to re-use it for further iron ore reduction in the blast furnace. This recycle requires the removal of the CO2 from this gas. Several approaches exist, but one is particularly interesting as it provides integration between the two above mentioned approaches, with another feedstock routed to the blast furnace, which is ammonia, used as a H2 carrier molecule. Indeed, ammonia is seen as an efficient and easy way to bring green H2 to the blast furnace, by transporting it from remote sunny and windy areas such as Australia or Chile to densely populated regions in the north such as Europe or Japan.
