Season 2 / Episode 9: John Mellowes, BioCarbon
Description
Much of the Green Steel Challenge is about reducing the amount of CO2-emitting coal used in the blast furnace to reduce iron ore. However, carbon itself is an essential component of steel, and this is an issue in EAFs where coke also usually has to be added to obtain the required quality of steel.
In this episode, we chat with John Mellowes, Cofounder of BioCarbon, an Australian start-up that takes waste biomass resources such as woodchip and sawmill waste and coverts it to a range of biocarbon products that can be used in heavy industries such as steelmaking using an innovative pyrolysis technology.
Tune in to hear how their vision is reshaping the future of steel production.
