Abstract

Charcoal produced from sustainably grown biomass can be used to reduce the net CO2 emissions from iron and steel making operations. However careful control of pyrolysis conditions is required to produce charcoal with the necessary properties to optimise substitution for coal and coke in specific applications. The density of charcoal is an important property to control in order to minimise transport and handling costs as well as control of charcoal reactivity and strength.
