CO2 removal [11] is only attractive in processes that produce gas volumes with sufficiently high CO2 concentrations.<br />

The figures 4 and 5 display emissions in case of CO2 removal. CO2 removal amount 80 % from the<br />

air-based blast furnace at 32 ECU/t CO2 and 90 % from the oxygen based blast furnace, COREX and CCF at 30<br />

ECU/t (see table 1). CO2 removal takes place by the water gas shift reaction which converts most carbon to<br />

CO2, and is followed by removal of the CO2. The overall removal processs consumes steam and electricity.<br />

MIDREX and Circofer already include CO2 removal; additional costs of compression, transport and storage<br />

amount to 10 ECU/t CO2.<br />
