Bio Engineers are increasing in Steel Companies
1. Extending to use off gases to ferment them, where microbes eat the off gases and are transforming them to bio ethanol
2. Diversity balancing
Concrete carbon roadmap:
1. Energy Efficiency
1. Blast Furnace
2. Reuse Waste Heat
3. Use the Kinetic Energy of the Gas in the Blast Turbine
2. Replacing Fossil Carbon by combination of nat gas, hydrogen and electrification
1. Replacing coal with circular coal and hydrogen electricity
2. Replace coke with recycled coke
3. Circularity - [[Carbon Capture Use & Storage (CCUS) MOC]]
1. Capture carbon and convert it into ethanol for use as a mix in the fuel and a base component for the chemicals industry, the carbon output as a byproduct by the steel industry is equal to the carbon needed by the chemical industry
