Abstract: The challenges of replacing fossil fuel with renewable energy in steel industry furnaces include not only reducing CO2 emissions but also increasing the system energy efficiency. In this work, a multi-stage gasification system is chosen for the integration with a heat treatment furnace in the steel powder industry to recover different rank/temperature waste heat back to the biomass gasification system, resulting higher system energy efficiency.
