Steel ProductionGlobally, 1.9 billion metric tons of crude steel were produced in 2022. Over the past 15 years, the global demand for steel production has nearly doubled, as this versatile product can be found in nearly all modern infrastructure such as buildings, ships, vehicles, machines, and appliances. Conventionally, steel is made from iron ore (the world's third most produced commodity by volume), which is a compound derived from iron, oxygen, and other minerals. Through a blast or electric furnace, in which electricity is used to create high-temperature environments to melt the reactants, the final product of steel is generated following a molting refining process. Unfortunately, steel production is extremely energy-intensive and accelerates air pollution through the release of nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide. On average, 1.83 tons of CO2 is emitted for every ton of steel that is produced. Steel production accounts for nearly 7-11% of total global greenhouse gas emissions emitted annually. Steel production not only has harmful environmental impacts, but can negatively impact human health leading to respiratory diseases such as asthma, COPD, and cancer. What is Green Steel?To mitigate the harmful environmental and health effects of conventional steel production, many researchers  are working on green steel as an alternative. Green steel is a form of steel production that is powered by hydrogen or renewable energy, which can reduce carbon dioxide emissions and minimize waste. Green steel can be accomplished through various methods, whether by reducing carbon-based agents, moving from blast to electric furnaces, or decreasing reliance on fossil-fuel based inputs. In traditional steel production, CO2 emissions generally arise from the use of coal and coke to remove oxygen from iron ore. Green steel utilizes hydrogen rather than coal or coke. When burned, hydrogen emits only water, so this phase of manufacturing is free of carbon dioxide emissions. As a result, water is the only byproduct which can then be used to produce more hydrogen, forming a closed loop system. Throughout production, green steel utilizes either wind, solar or hydro to power the furnaces instead of fossil power. Scrap materials of used steel can also be utilized, reducing the need for extracting additional primary materials. The Future of Green SteelGreen steel production is on the forefront of innovative design in equipping regions like the Rust Belt with strategies to significantly revitalize their current operations. Last March the Biden-Harris Administration announced a $6 billion funding from the U.S. Department of Energy to accelerate decarbonization projects in energy-intensive industries like steel production. Such  investments aim to spearhead the transition to renewable energy sources, focus on investment in new carbon technologies, enable markets to build cleaner products, and benefit local communities. Additionally, a transition to hydrogen-based electric manufacturing could increase jobs in the steel and energy industries by 43 percent. Overall, green steel can conserve resources, promote economic growth, and assist in decarbonization. Scaling Up the Technology is Proving TroublesomeSteel has posed to be one of the most challenging industries to decarbonize. On a large scale, clean hydrogen production will require billions of dollars in investment to achieve a full transition. Currently, the cost of production of green steel is higher than conventional steel due to the high investment and electricity costs required. Labor, finance, and advanced technology will be essential in scaling up green steel production.About the Guest Adam Rauwerdink is the Senior Vice President of Business Development for Boston Metal, a Massachusetts based start-up working towards decarbonizing steelmaking and advancing efficient, sustainable metal production.

Michael returns to talk with legendary educator and inventor, Donald Sadoway, Professor Emeritus of Materials Chemistry at MIT. After earning his PhD in chemical metallurgy in 1977 at the University of Toronto, he joined the faculty at MIT where he spent 44 years. For 16 of those, he taught 3.091 (Introduction to Solid-State Chemistry)—and his animated lectures, peppered with references to music, art, and literature—doubtless contributed to the subject's popularity. Among the many accolades bestowed on Professor Sadoway in his 44 years as a teacher and researcher at MIT was a compliment by Bill Gates: “best chemistry lessons anywhere. Unbelievable.” In 2012, for the invention of the liquid metal battery, he was named by Time magazine one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World.” He has founded several hard tech startups, including Ambri, Avanti Battery Company, Pure Lithium and Boston Metal.  Links Review Donald's 2012 TED talk, "The Missing Link to Renewable Energy" here: https://www.ted.com/talks/donald_sadoway_the_missing_link_to_renewable_energy?language=enExplore Avanti Battery Company's tech here: https://avanti.energyExplore Ambri's tech here: https://ambri.comExplore Pure Lithium's tech here: https://www.purelithium.ioExplore Boston Metal's tech here: https://www.bostonmetal.comExplore Sadoway Labs' research here: https://sadowaylabs.orgTake Prof Sadoway's course, 3.091 - Introduction to Solid State Chemistry - here: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/3-091sc-introduction-to-solid-state-chemistry-fall-2010/   Related Episodes Metals Refining - From Mining to Brining - Ep142: Alex Grant: https://www.cleaningup.live/metals-refining-from-mining-to-brining-ep-142-alex-grant/Iron-Air Man - Ep144: Mateo Jaramillo: https://www.cleaningup.live/iron-air-man-ep144-mateo-jaramillo/

Quand on pense pollution et rejet de CO2, on pense évidemment à l'industrie. Et si l'on regarde un peu plus en détail, c'est la sidérurgie qui est l'une des industries les plus polluantes au monde, entre 7 et 9% des émissions mondiales de dioxyde de carbone. Rien de très étonnant finalement, quand on sait que ce marché représente à lui seul 1 600 milliards de dollars, et que l'on retrouve de l'acier absolument partout autour de nous, dans nos habitations, nos voitures, etc… Quoiqu'il en soit, un verdissement du secteur de l'acier semble inévitable, et c'est justement ce que propose la start-up Boston Metal, qui depuis 10 ans déjà prouve qu'une production d'acier sans émission de CO2 était possible.Avant toute chose, que signifie l'appellation « acier vert » ? Et bien, il s'agit tout simplement d'un acier produit à partir de ressources renouvelables et qui a un impact environnemental considérablement réduit par rapport à l'acier traditionnel, voire même quasiment invisible puisque les émissions de CO2 sont presque réduite à néant. Ceci dit, si aujourd'hui Boston Metal se développe rapidement, c'est grâce à l'investissement massif de deux géants : Microsoft et ArcelorMittal. Si l'on ne sait pas exactement combien d'argent Microsoft a investi dans la start-up, le spécialiste européen de l'acier ArcelorMittal a pour sa part déboursé 36 millions de dollars, pour une levée de fonds totale qui a atteint les 120 millions. Un beau chèque qui devrait permettre, je cite, « d'accélérer la production d'acier dit vert dans l'usine de Woburn, dans le Massachusetts, et de soutenir la filiale brésilienne de Boston Metal avec la construction d'une première aciérie en 2024, puis en 2026, d'une usine de taille moyenne » fin de citation.Si vous ne connaissez pas Boston Metal, et bien sachez que la start-up est considérée comme l'une des entreprises les plus prometteuses dans la conception d'acier dit « propre ». C'est en 2013 qu'elle a vu le jour, sur le campus du MIT, après que deux professeurs, Donald Sadoway et Antoine Allanore aient publié un article dans la revue scientifique Nature prouvant qu'il était possible de générer de l'acier en n'émettant quasiment aucun gramme de CO2. Conscients du potentiel immense de leur découverte, les deux hommes se sont empressés de breveter leur technologie sans jamais en dévoiler le détail, qu'ils ont mis à l'œuvre jusqu'à aujourd'hui à l'abri des regards via leur entreprise Boston Metal.

For some sectors of our economy, electrification as a decarbonization strategy is a whole lot easier said than done. Take the steel industry - which is responsible for 11% of global CO2 emissions. A large part of those emissions come from the ‘coking' process - where coal-fired furnaces burning at up to 1,100 degrees Celsius (2,000 degrees Fahrenheit) are used to break the bonds between iron and oxygen in the ore materials used to make steel. Driving this reaction with electricity, instead of a coal furnace, is an enormous challenge - but one that Boston Metals are taking the lead on.Climate Now sat down with Adam Rauwerdink, senior vice president of Boston Metals, to better understand the landscape of developing clean steel technologies, and why the electrification process they are developing - “molten oxide electrolysis” - could be the decarbonization solution that the steel industry needs.

We swung through London’s East End this past March to meet up with chefs Jackson Boxer and Andrew Clarke who gave us a preview of their Shoreditch restaurant St. Leonards. Since opening in May, the duo’s “fire and ice” menu, fueled by a raw bar with shellfish and various crudos and a wood-burning hearth offering up veggies, seafare and meats, have made St. Leonards one of the most popular restaurant openings in London this year. We dig into our archives and revisit one of the loudest musical performances we’ve ever had on the show with Boston sludgy punk rock trio Kal Marks. It was September 2013, and the band was just on the verge of releasing their first full-length album, Life is Murder. Snacky Tunes is powered by Simplecast

Ex-Audi-Chef gegen Kaution auf freiem Fuß Der ehemalige Audi-Chef Rupert Stadler wird aus der Untersuchungshaft entlassen. Der seit dem 18. Juni dieses Jahres vollgezogene Haftbefehl werde außer Vollzug gesetzt, teilte das Oberlandesgericht München mit. Stadler muss eine Kaution hinterlegen. Das Gericht gehe davon aus, dass gegen Stadler "weiterhin ein dringender Tatverdacht besteht". Die Ermittlungsbehörden werfen dem Ex- Audi-Chef vor, nach Bekanntwerden der Abgasbetrügereien den Verkauf von Dieselautos mit falschen Abgaswerten zugelassen zu haben. Dabei habe er von den Manipulationen gewusst oder sie bewusst ignoriert. Boston Metal will Stahl mittels Elektrolyse produzieren Seit Jahrzehnten wird Stahl unter hohen Emissionen mit Hilfe von Hochöfen und Koks erzeugt. Das Start-up Boston Metal, eine Ausgründung aus dem MIT, will mit einem grundlegend neuen Verfahren die Kohlendioxid-Emissionen bei der Herstellung von Stahl verringern. Sollte die neue Methode mittels Elektrolyse funktionieren, könnte ein Sektor, der derzeit die weltweiten Emissionen um rund 5 Prozent erhöht, deutlich sauberer werden, berichtet Technology Review. Assange befürchtet nach abgewiesener Klage Auslieferung an USA Die ecuadorianische Justiz hat eine Klage des Wikileaks-Gründers Julian Assange wegen mutmaßlicher Verletzung seiner Grundrechte abgewiesen. Assange hatte eine einstweilige Verfügung gegen ein Verhaltensprotokoll beantragt, das ihm die Regierung Ecuadors für sein Leben im Exil in der Londoner Botschaft des südamerikanischen Staates auferlegt hatte. Er befürchtet nun seine Auslieferung an die USA. Doch die USA haben bisher keinen offiziellen Auslieferungsantrag gestellt. EU-Verkehrsminister brauchen mehr Zeit bei Zeitumstellung Die EU-Kommission würde gern schon im kommenden Jahr die halbjährliche Zeitumstellung in Europa abschaffen. Einige EU-Verkehrsminister stehen dem skeptisch gegenüber. Für eine Änderung ab 2021 hatte es bei einem informellen Treffen der Verkehrsminister in Graz hingegen breitere Zustimmung gegeben. Zuletzt hatte etwa die Luftfahrtbranche zunehmende Besorgnis geäußert. Beim Verhandeln und Festlegen der Flugslots sei mehr Zeit nötig, hieß es.

Reknowned Engineer and Producer in the Boston Metal scene, Eric Braunschweiger stops in to have a few drinks and reminesce over past projects and the scene of yester year. This marks a grand occasion, since Eric is moving to Australia with his wife and we won't be able to see much more of him. I'm not one to believe in good byes, so I'm looking forward to the next round. We're losing an awesome dude. We love you Eric.
