‘World’s first’ trial begins to recycle CO₂ captured at steel plant in Belgium

ArcelorMittal and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), together with climate tech company D-CRBN, are trialling a new technology to convert CO₂ captured at ArcelorMittal’s steel manufacturing plant in Ghent, Belgium, into carbon monoxide (CO) that can be used in steel and chemical production. Meanwhile, new analysis suggests that the auto manufacturing industry could become a lead market for low-carbon steel production in Europe if lawmakers set content requirements.

How an Italian steelmaker tackles waste heat recovery

Waste heat recovery can provide a useful energy efficiency resource across many ‘hard-to-abate’ industry sectors. Italian steelmaker ORI Martin has installed an innovative system using a large, utility-scale heat pump to provide district heating for a nearby town. New Energy World Features Editor Brian Davis reports from Brescia in northern Italy.
