abstract = {Both the global steel and chemical industries contribute
largely to industrial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. For
both industries, GHG emissions are strongly related to the
consumption of fossil resources. While the chemical industry
often releases GHGs as direct process emissions, steel mills
globally produce 1.78 Gt of off-gases each year, which are
currently combusted for subsequent heat and electricity
generation. However, these steel mill off-gases consist of
high value compounds, which also can be utilized as
feedstock for chemical production and thereby reduce fossil
resource consumption and thus GHG emissions. In the present
work, we determine climate-optimal utilization pathways for
steel mill off-gases. We combine a nonlinear, disjunctive
model of the steel mill off-gas separation system with a
large-scale linear model of the chemical industry to perform
environmental optimization. The results show that the
climate-optimal utilization of steel mill off-gases depends
on electricity’s carbon footprint: For the current
electricity grid mix, methane, hydrogen, and synthesis gas
are recovered as feedstocks for conventional chemical
production and enable a methanol-based chemical industry.
For low electricity footprints in the future, the separation
of steel mill off-gases supports CO2-based production
processes in the chemical industry, supplying up to $30\%$
of the required CO2. By coupling the global steel and
chemical industry, industrial GHG emissions can be reduced
by up to 79 Mt CO2-equivalents per year. These reductions
provide up to $4.5\%$ additional GHG savings compared to a
stand-alone optimization of the two industries, showing a
limited potential for this industrial symbiosis.},
