thyssenkrupp, German multinational within the industrial engineering and steel production sectors, has for the first time in the world, produced ammonia from steel mill gases as part of its Carbon2Chem project .
Steel mill gases come from steel production and contain carbon dioxide (CO2) which is used in the production of the chemical ammonia. Ammonia is then used to make fertilisers which improve food production.
“Our Carbon2Chem concept has shown that it is possible to use steel mill gases for the production of various chemicals and thus achieve a circular carbon economy,” explained Reinhold Achatz, Head of Technology at thyssenkrupp.
