Coke is a key fuel used within a blast furnace during primary steelmaking. Under the terms of these contracts, Pyro Green-Gas will provide engineering and mechanical solutions that will aid in the removal of hydrogen sulfide from coke oven gas during the coking process. The cleaned gas would then be converted into high value reusable hydrogen.
The steelmaking industry releases more than 3 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide annually and is responsible for between 7-10% of global GHG emissions, making steel the industrial material with the biggest climate impact.i
“This announcement highlights our organization’s continued commitment to providing sustainable solutions for heavy industry, this time via our wholly-owned subsidiary’s coke oven gas cleaning and purification solution,” noted
Pyro Green-Gas’ development of coke oven gas cleaning solutions are part of the Company’s three-tiered solution ecosystem that aligns with economic drivers that are key to global heavy industry. Coke oven gas cleaning solutions are part of the Company’s Energy Transition & Emissions Reduction tier, where fuel switching utilizing the Company’s electric-powered plasma torches, and gas cleaning and conversion technologies, helps heavy industry reduce fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions.
About
Pyro Green-Gas offers technologies, equipment, and expertise in the area of biogas upgrading, as well as air pollution controls. Pyro Green-Gas designs and builds: (i) gas upgrading systems to convert biogas to renewable natural gas (RNG); (ii) pyrolysis-gas purification; (iii) biogas & landfill-gas flares and thermal oxidizers; and (iv) purification of coke-oven gas (COG) (a by-product in the primary steel industry arising from the conversion of coal into coke) into high purity hydrogen, which is in high demand across the industry. Pyro Green-Gas is also known for its line of landfill gas flares which reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions specifically from landfills.
