(author)Steel production is a main source of CO2 emissions globally. These emissions must be drastically reduced to meet climate change mitigation goals. STEPWISE is a Sorption Enhanced Reactive Process (SERP) technology that converts steel works arising gases to H2 with simultaneous CO2 capture. The main energy requirements of the process are the high-...article 2022

van Kampen, J. (author), Boon, J. (author), Vente, J.F. (author), van Sint Annaland, M. (author)Dimethyl ether (DME) is one of the most attractive alternative fuel solutions under consideration worldwide. However, its production from CO2-rich feedstock or CO2 directly is limited via conventional processes and therefore considered unattractive. For CO2 utilisation, the production and efficient handling of steam remains a major bottleneck....article 2021
