EQOS ’s Post

In one of our last posts, we talked about our valuable source material - scrap steel. To transform the input material into high-quality output requires large amounts of energy. Our main energy sources are electrical energy and natural gas. Electrical energy is mainly consumed by our electric arc furnaces, whereas natural gas is primarily used for the generation of process heat in our rolling mill and our forging and heat treatment furnaces. Wherever possible, we use the heat contained in waste gas in heat exchangers such as regenerators. We also use waste heat to reduce our own natural gas consumption and CO2 emissions for heating. The rolling mill in Emmenbrücke, Switzerland, and the heat treatment shop in Ugine, France, also feed part of their waste heat into district heating networks. On this basis, strategic and operational energy targets are set, and energy measures are planned, implemented, and monitored. #energy #swisssteelgroup #co2 #srcap #electricarcfurnace #Emmenbrücke #Ugine #energytarget

The use of electric arc furnace has seen a significant increase in recent years. In episode 4 of The Green Steel Challenge, Sajjan Jindal speaks about using an electric arc furnace powered by renewable energy to embrace sustainable steel making.

What if the location of your steel plant could significantly reduce your carbon footprint? Historically, the co-location of iron and steelmaking plants was driven by proximity to raw materials and transport infrastructure, maximizing thermal and cost efficiency. While Blast Furnace scale was once crucial for achieving cost degression, nowadays, profitability is increasingly driven by smaller, more flexible units. Today, the landscape is evolving. New iron products like Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI) enable geographic separation, as their easier transportability allows for strategic plant placement. This shift opens up opportunities to optimize locations based on renewable energy availability, directly contributing to reduced CO2 emissions and enhanced sustainability. Re-evaluating plant locations to leverage regions with abundant renewable energy can significantly bolster your sustainability efforts and operational flexibility. #GreenSteel #Sustainability #SteelIndustry #Decarbonization #RenewableEnergy Esben Hegnsholt

Thermal energy storage , an interistng concept that is already in use in Finland. This is a great use of readyilly available materials such as sand and steel. Simple but proving to be effective.

The Genius of 'Waterless' Hydro Energy Storage Pumped hydro storage is one of the most proven energy storage technologies we have. It comes with a range of benefits and it great for long term storage. However, it requires very specific geography that isn't always available. This is why RheEnergise have been working on a new high density fluid that can be used instead of water - providing 2.5 times the energy density! https://lnkd.in/d74uBYN3

🌡️ ⚡️ Technology from HYDAC makes transferring thermal energy more efficient 🌋 The earth naturally supplies us with thermal energy. If you want to use this thermal energy sustainably, transferring it from surface water, wastewater or geothermal energy to a working fluid is crucial. Powerful heat exchangers ensure that as much heat as possible is transferred to the working medium, so that the energy can be utilised to the maximum. Our specialist, FUNKE, has developed gasketed plate heat exchangers and shell-and-tube heat exchangers that retain the energy and make it ready for use in cooling or district and local heating. And with upstream filtration, you protect the heat exchangers as well as other components in your system, keep your system available and avoid unplanned maintenance work.
