  1. JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal Low-CO2 steelmaking Jean-Pierre BIRAT, ArcelorMittal Industrial Technologies 2012Integrating nano, materials and production Cleaner Coal & Stronger Steel for a Sustainable Europe Workshop Aarhus, 19-21 June 2012

  2. Steel & Climate Change • Steel & Carbon footprint: the dark side of the story (steel is a problem) • specific CO2 emissions: 0.6 (EAF), 2.3 (BF), 1.8 (world average) tCO2/tsteel, globally about 5% of anthropogenic emissions. These are actual (real) emissions, physics. • Steel and avoided CO2: the bright side of the story (steel is the solution) • avoided emission are one order of magnitude larger than sectoral emissions… but depend on authors to a very large extend. These are not physical emissions, but "fiction" • the world governance on Climate has decided that industrial sectors are responsible for their real emissions but can get credits for avoiding emissions (e.g. through CDMs). JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal

  3. Is this reasonable? • follows the "polluter pays" principle, a "grave" approach • another approach would attach the burden to the cradle… or spread along the value chain (cf. law enforcement issues) • a confusion between fossil fuels – which are burned, and metals – which are reduced. Why should they be treated similarly? What if politicians were physicists? • the ETS system in Europe does NOT WORK (has not worked yet!) and one reason is that metals are part of it! What a price to pay!!! JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal

  4. Steel and what lies ahead of us… • Major contradiction today between climate scientists' proejctions and the willingness of society to act (e.g. carbon price: 6.6 €/t) • CO2 breakthrough program of worldsteel: many small exploratory programs, a couple of larger ones, one (ULCOS) really addressing the issue with the view to build demonstrators • some kind of final reckoning will come, but when? RIO+20??? • there is room and a future for carbon-lean steel production, not simply because of carbon, but also because these solutions are attractive in a more general way… JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal

  5. Let's have a look at ULCOS' present status.. … as a demonstration of the previous statement…

  6. Partners active in ULCOS II JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal

  7. ULCOS II develops all 4 ULCOS solutions JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal

  8. ULCOS-BF project CO2 storage ULCOS-BF demonstrator JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal EBF NER-300 Florange ULCOS I 4 projets RFCS + 1 FP Eisenhüttenstadt-EHS

  9. Cost, financing, schedule… • cost not announced officially • financing (obtained or expected): • German government (EHS) • NER-300 (Florange full CCS chain) • French government (Florange) • Lorraine regional bodies (Florange) • ULCOS consortium • ARCELORMITTAL • EHS: start up scheduled 2014 • Florange: start up of relined P6 in 2014,TGR-BF in 2015 and of ULCOS-BF (full CCS chain) in 2015 (31/12) JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal

  10. Area for pre-assembly Delivery area for oversize parts and pre-assembly Access road to slag deposit New entrance for oversize parts Level +20 m Level +8 m Level ±0 m National Railways TGR implantation (~20 000 m²) Parabolic bin Parabolic bin Railways BF P4 BF P6 Hot stoves Gas cleaning Iron Railways ULCOS-BF in Florange JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal

  11. ULCOS-BF in Florange JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal

  12. ULCOS-BF in Florange JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal

  13. CCS in a deep saline aquifer Geological map of eastern Paris basin (A-B: cross section position, from BRGM) JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal

  14. CONTROL AQUIFER PRIMARY CAP ROCK SALINE AQUIFER RESERVOIR 1000 m CO2 Storage concept JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal

  15. NER-300 boundary conditions… • ULCOS-BF demonstrator to be built and started up within 4 years • the demonstrator has to operate for at least 10 years (NER-300) • industrial deployment, based on "technological realism" (feasibility), might start in the 2020s JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal

  16. CCS HIsarna The plant was operated from April 18 to June 11 2011 JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal New campaigns in 2012, 2013...

  17. ULCORED JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal

  18. ULCOWIN JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal anode

  19. PV cell Electrolysis cell Electrolysis and renewable energies… JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal

  20. Operating cost (index/tHRC) Energy consumption (GJ/tHRC) 10-20% reduction vs. benchmark BF still a "regret" solution vs. benchmark BF CO2 emissions (tCO2/tHRC) Cost of avoided CO2 (index/tHRC) > 50% reduction vs. benchmark BF Cost of avoided CO2 = 1/2 end-of-pipe CCS ULCOS solutions' results JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal

  21. 2050 footprints foresight JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal

  22. Conclusions • the future of carbon lean policies is still uncertain • .. and so is the future of carbon-lean technologies in the steel sector • but solutions like ULCOS's have the potential to change the sector technology way beyond carbon dioxide emissions and to constitute a major technology shift, part of the new Kondratief linked to the green economy? JP. Birat, 8 June 2012, Montreal

  23. FP6 and RFCS grants from the Commission and from French and Dutch agencies are gratefully acknowledged.

  24. Thank you!
