As a result, the industry accounts for roughly 8 percent of annual carbon dioxide emissions, as well as a toxic soup of air pollutants. But in order to curb steel’s carbon emissions, the sector will have to transform how the material is traditionally made. The furnaces that melt iron ore to make steel consume vast amounts of coal.

Anaerobically digested sludge releases residual methane and carbon dioxide to the atmosphere – methane emissions from sludge treatment make up 75% of the diffuse CO 2 -equivalent emissions ( Gärtner 2017 ). Vacuum degassing is a process where a vacuum extracts residual gas from a media, in this case digested sludge.
