The project addressed a simplified integrated SNG process chain for small- to mid-scale lignite based SNG plants with integrated sequestration of CO2. The experimental proof was accomplished at two integrated SNG process chains at FAU laboratory. Within the 1st part of the project, thermodynamic...

Coal liquids (i.e., coal tar and anthracene oil) were successfully used to prepare graphene materials. Impregnating tars and binder tars with various chemical compositions and various primary quinoline insoluble (QI) content were polymerized and transformed into a pitch, which was subsequently...

The objective of the project was to improve cleaning technologies, to be modelled, validated, interlinked in optimised processes and economically assessed for application to syngas, considering the enlargement of the fuel panorama. The work was organised in two main lines. The first line focused...

In the RFCS project 'Acasos', alternative carbon sources, for example olive pits, sunflower husks, blast furnace (BF) dust and sludge, anthracite and pet coke, were analysed, pre-treated and evaluated by sinter pot tests and industrial sinter plant trials. It was found that pre-treatment is...

This report summarises the achievements during the project runtime from 01.07.2009-30.06.2012 of the RFCS-project RFCR-CT-2009-00003 'Substitute natural gas from coal with internal sequestration of CO2' (CO2freeSNG). The project focused on the design and feasibility of medium-scale plants for...

IERO project aims at developing a breakthrough technology to produce steel without any direct CO2 emissions. The economic model of this new route shows that the conditions for electrolysis to be the dominant technology of the steel industry in 2035 are a high carbon value of 150€.t-1CO2 and a...

The aim of the ENCOP project is the development of tools for the reduction of the energy demand and CO2 emissions of an integrated steelwork. The relevant operational data, energy flows and CO2 emissions of the integrated steelworks of LUCCHINI in Piombino (in the following LU) and ArcelorMittal...
