RENEPRO project – INTERREG NORD 2014-2020 program
RENEPRO is a
cooperation project between Finnish and Swedish partners in Interreg Nord
2014-2020 EU-program. The main focus areas in the project are biomass
upgrading, fossil-based reductant replacement, process gas upgrading and CO2
reduction.
Objective of the project
The main objective of this research project is to demonstrate the technological, economic and environmental feasibility of the novel bioeconomy-steel industry production platform (integrated steel, bio-based reductant and chemical production) through extensive laboratory investigations, pilot-scale trials, system analyses and carbon footprint assessments.
Expected results
The
expected results of RENEPRO project include the assessment of optimal
production technology for bioreducer production, new information about
the possibility to use bioreducers as reductants in modern blast
furnace, new gas upgrading methods for steel industry process gases to
produce valuable fuels and chemicals, new approaches to combine
bioeconomy, metal industry and chemical industry processes.
Project partners
RENEPRO
project is coordinated by the University of Oulu (Process Metallurgy
and Applied Chemistry). Other project partners are Luleå University of
Technology (LTU), Sweden (Energy Science, Department of Engineering
Sciences and Mathematics), Future Eco AB, Sweden and Swerea Mefos,
Sweden (Process Integration).
