Carbon as a Lower Value Gas from Chemistry of Steel Making
Lower Value Gas Residues
Metallurgical grade
coking coal
Produce coke for blast
furnaceReducing agent to convert
iron ore into pig (crude) iron.
Drive excess carbon
out of the pig iron as
CO using oxygen

These gases would still be produced
If all energy in steelmaking were replaced by wind and solar

LanzaTech Offers the Optimal Carbon Monoxide Solution
CO
CO2
Direct Release• Highly toxic gas; regulated• Allowable quantities small• Oxidizes quickly to CO2 in
atmosphere
Flare to CO2• Contributes directly to
climate change• Increased carbon burden• No added value, only costs
Combustion • Low efficiency usage: ~30%• Significant release of CO2• C based power production
should be displaced by renewable powerCO2
Flare
Combust
Reuse
LanzaTech Conversion• High efficiency usage ~60%• Sequesters carbon into
products and low-carbon fuels
• Carbon converted to products not pollution
