Road-map for gas in the Norwegian metallurgical industry: greater value creation and reduced emissions
نویسنده
چکیده
Background Greater use of gas would make metal production more environmentally friendly while improving the competitiveness of Norwegian metal producers. By “gas” we refer here to natural gas, biogas, hydrogen and flue-gases from the metal production industry’s own and other industries’ production processes. Gas can replace coal and coke or provide a basis for the development of new processes that are more energy-efficient and/or emit less CO2. Using flue-gases would exploit a currently underutilised raw material; hydrogen or biogas combustion would reduce fossil-fuel emissions, while use of natural gas would remove CO2 emissions from the volatile components of coal. Reducing the use of coal and coke would reduce global environmental footprints caused by coal-mining. The development of new processes could give Norwegian industry a competitive advantage.

Pollution problems in the metallurgical industry: A review
Processing of minerals and production of metals has increased greatly in recent years. As a result, the quantities of waste material and pollutants have also increased. In many cases technology has changed to cope with the problem. Processes have been either modified to decrease emissions, or replaced by others that are less polluting even if at a higher cost. This paper briefly reviews example...
