| Technology Brief |
The process for ethanol production at the steel mill in Ghent makes use of a technology developed by LanzaTech, whereby gases produced during the chemistry of steel production are fermented by microbes that secrete ethanol.
|
| Additional Information |
Project progress has been delayed due to obtaining regulatory approval for the ethanol under EU incentive regimes (RED, FQD) and for securing financing from the European Investment Bank (EIB). Optimization of the technology operated in China, will be implemented at this site. This will be the first project globally to demonstrate utilization of Blast Furnace (BF) gas in a live fermentation. This is particularly important as more than 80% of the carbon rich gases available at steel mills is BF gas, highlighting the first commercial application of using this gas stream globally.
