Abstract

Tata Steel IJmuiden is an integrated steel mill which produces and supplies more than 7 million tonnes of high quality and coated steel to various sectors. The production of such substantial amount of steel comes with huge ¬carbon dioxide emissions, to put it into perspective Tata Steel alone is responsible for 7% of the Dutch CO2 emissions. Nonetheless, the company has been heavily investing and researching methods to decrease its CO2 emissions in its attempt to become a carbon-neutral steelmaker by 2050. The first intermediate goal to reach this target are the 2030 climate goals for heavy industry and to attain these Tata Steel is deploying a CCS project to securely capture and store CO2 in the North Sea. Carbon Capture and Storage is already proven to be feasible and is a mature technology. However, deploying CCS demands enormous volumes of heat and electricity. The estimated heat demand for the solvent regeneration phase is between 2.5 – 4.0 GJ/tonne of CO2 dependent on the process design, type of solvent and quality of CO2 source (Ali et al. 2018). Once the CO2 is separated from the solvent it is essential to compress it, which requires electricity, for transport and storage. Due to these factors, it is essential that the thermal and electrical energy are provided for, while incurring the minimum energy penalty. Currently, the plan for providing steam to the CCS plant is assumed to be a gas-fired Boiler. In this research, three different scenarios are analysed and mode
