- Decarbonisation of BF-BOF through thermochemical closed carbon looping.
- Demonstration of mass and energy flows of thermochemical BF-BOF system.
- 88% emissions reduction of UK steel industry through £720 million investment.
- Decarbonisation without retiring of existing BF-BOF, reducing stranded assets.
- After 5 years, £1.28 billion savings and total UK-wide emissions reduction of 2.9%.
