Assessment of the Air Emissions Impact of
Emerging Technologies Task Force on Integrated
Assessment Modelling (29th meeting) Michael
Ball DFIU/IFARE Amiens, 10 12 May, 2004
2
Scope and Tasks

• General scope
• provide information for extension of RAINS and
  for future policy measures in EU
• Tasks
• identification of main pollutant-sector
  combinations
• techno-economic characterisation of emerging
  technologies (benefits, costs)
• development of scenarios to assess the impact of
  emerging technologies until 2030
• identification of drivers and barriers for
  diffusion, e.g. technical problems
• recommendations for measures to promote
  diffusion, e.g. via research programs
• Duration 8 months (until beginning of August)
• Event workshop on 28th and 29th of June in
  Brussels to discuss results

Organization and Focus

• Project consortium
• French-German Institute for Environmental
  Research (DFIU)
• Federal Environment Agency Austria
• partners CITEPA, ITA
• Focus technologies that are
• beyond Best Available Techniques (BAT)
  (emerging), e.g. pilot plants
• with relevance for reduction of air pollution
  and greenhouse gases (PM, NOx, VOC, SO2, CO2)
  in EU25 until 2030
• process integrated or end-of-pipe
• both emerging technologies and emerging
  applications of existent technologies

WP 2Identification and Description of
Promising Emerging Technologies
12
Methodology for data collection

• Literature review
• BREF documents
• Experts Questionnaire (400 questionnaires
  sent out, relatively low response rate up to now)

Question Which are the most promising
technologies ?
13
Types of emerging technologies (I)

• New types of installations/processes ?
  substitution of existing installations/processes
• Steel/Pig iron production Direct reduction,
  Smelting reduction (no more coke/sinter plants)
• Aluminium production Inert anodes
• Heat and power generation Stationary Fuel
  Cells (PEMFC, SOFC), Hydrogen
• etc.

14
Types of emerging technologies (II)

• Emerging applications of control technologies
• SCR for cement production
• more hoods/enclosures for fugitive emissions
  from e.g. material handling, storage and
  transport ? cement, copper production
• etc.
• Emerging end-of-pipe technologies
• Plasma technology for VOC decomposition
• Biological off-gas cleaning for VOCs
• etc.

15
WP 3Development of Scenarios
16
Example Pig iron production

• Pig iron production
• Blast furnace
• Direct reduction (no more coke plants)
• Smelting reduction (no more coke/sinter plants)
• Considered pollutant CO2
• Blast furnace (BF) 1912 t CO2/t product
• Coke plant 1536 t CO2/t product
• Sinter plant 199 t CO2/t product
• Direct reduction (DR) 610 t CO2/t product
• Smelting reduction (SR) 2604 t CO2/t product

Difficulties encountered

• Short project duration
• Availability of consistent data (costs)
• Willingness to report on emerging technologies
  (problems of confidentiality)
• Diversity of pollutants and emission sectors
  among countries

? Selected Sectors, technologies and pollutants
