There are around 350 decarbonization projects in the early stages of implementation in Europe, the USA and the Middle East. 14% of those are being implemented in the steel sector in Europe, with hydrogen technologies prevailing considerably.
Oksana Roman, Energy transition leader at Bilfinger Tebodin, shared this at the international forum “Decarbonization of the Steel Industry: a Challenge for Ukraine” during her presentation “The Road to Decarbonization: Project Development Strategy and Experience”.
North-West Europe is leading the decarbonization move with almost equal focus on hydrogen and carbon capture technologies, while in the USA and Great Britain carbon capture and utilization projects prevail.
According to Oksana Roman, industrial implementation of decarbonization projects can be divided into three stages, each with its own specific problems:
1. Project planning:
2. Project financing:
3. Project implementation:
The Bilfinger Group already participates in decarbonization projects for such companies as TATA Steel, Shell and other industrial clients. Billfinger Tebodin is a German engineering and consulting company. It belongs to Bilfinger Group’s Engineering and Maintenance service sector with 24 offices in Northwestern, Central and Eastern Europe.
