Abstract

The CO₂ emitted by iron and steel industry accounts for 6% of the global anthropogenic CO₂ emission. As the control of CO₂ emission becomes increasingly stringent all over the world, the iron and steel industry now is facing an unprecedented crisis. And now even the most advanced technologies for reducing carbon emission have reached the bottleneck, so many countries in the world are striving to develop the breakthrough technologies for significantly reducing the carbon emission. The current progress and future research of steelmaking program with ultra-low CO₂ emission in Europe are stated, among which TGR-BF, HIsarna, ULCORED, ULCOWIN and ULCOLYSIS are considered to be the most promising technologies. Combined with the technology of carbon capture and storage, CO₂ emission can be reduced by as much as 80%. Compared with the traditional technologies, investment cost and operating cost are much lower.
