Evaluated biochar-powered low-carbon steel production through energy, emissions, and techno-economic modeling.

THE QUESTION

Can biochar be used to power massive steel plants, and provide farmers with more income?

BUILT / TESTED


  • Evaluated biochar utilization as a lower-carbon alternative in steel production.

  • Modeled energy generation and consumption requirements in steel manufacturing processes.

  • Analyzed emissions reductions, carbon-credit economics, and commercial feasibility.

  • Developed techno-economic assessments comparing alternative production approaches.
