| The steel production transformation process in Europe:
New slag types will substitute granulated blast furnace slag | |
|
| The main challenge of the steel industry for the next decade is the steel production transformation process, starting in Europe. The CO2 intensive blast furnace/basic oxygen furnace (BOF) route will be substituted by a combination of Direct Reduced Iron (DRI), based on natural gas, later on “green” hydrogen, with an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) or a Submerged Arc Furnace (SAF), heated with renewable energy. Thus, the well-known latent-hydraulic granulated blast furnace slag (GBS) will vanish step by step. GBS is used as a SCM due to its clinker reduction potential and from there its CO2 reduction potential for the cement and concrete production. [Photo: FEhS]

| | The M-Series: A new generation of highly efficient centrifugal fans | |
|
| The market is showing an increasing demand for highly efficient industrial centrifugal fans with impellers optimised for efficiency. Increased efficiency reduces energy consumption and thus operating costs, and also reduces environmental pollution. Furthermore, many countries impose mandatory energy efficiency guidelines. As a result of intensive research, Venti Oelde has recently been able to present a state-of-the-art generation of impellers known as the
M-Series. [Image: Venti Oelde]

| | Decarbonizing lime kilns with alternative fuels | |
|
| 30% of the CO2 emissions are fuel related emissions. While the use of alternative fuels, such as refuse derived fuels is common practice in the cement industry, the use of alternative fuels in the lime industry is still in its early stages. In the following, the opportunities for the use of various types of alternative fuels such as refuse derived fuels in modern lime kilns are summarized. [Photo: MVW]
