CAN Europe study
Goal:
• Insight in feasibility of 80-95% emission reduction in 2050, given current
technological practices
Approach:
• Three sectors, 41% of EU industrial emissions
• Three types of technologies:
―
―
―
•
•
‘break through’
>25%, 2020-2030, competitive
‘potential break through >25%, 2030-2050, R&D needed
‘back up’ options fit
<25% and/or higher costs
Energy use, production process and carbon capture and storage (CCS)
Sector analysis and interviews

Results
‘Break through’ options for emission reductions:
• Steel, 50 to 80%:
— Hisarna (coke free steelmaking) with CCS
— Fastmelt (rotary hearth direct iron-ore reduction process) with CCS
— Top Gas Recycling (configuration of current blast furnaces) with CCS
• Cement, 90 to >100%:
— Magnesium based clinker (Novacem)
— Oxyfuel firing and lime stone based clinker with CCS
• Paper, >90%:
— Black liquor gasification with CCS
Future options:
— Electrolysis (steel)
— Innovation in drying techniques (paper)
