Catalytic system presented to turn steel plant gases into synthetic ethanol and olefins
An international team of researchers and industrial technology specialists presented a catalytic system that transforms residual gases from steel plant blast furnaces into fuels and industrial raw materials. The technology uses high-efficiency catalysts to capture carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide before release and convert them, through controlled thermochemical reactions, into synthetic ethanol and high-purity olefins. Energy companies in Europe and Asia have expressed interest in evaluating its implementation through licensing agreements.
In 35 seconds
- The system captures carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide from blast furnaces before they are released into the environment.
- Through controlled thermochemical reactions it produces synthetic ethanol and high-purity olefins.
- Energy companies in Europe and Asia are evaluating licensing agreements to incorporate it into their facilities.
