Dataset for the publication "Eco-friendly ironmaking by biomass CO2 gasification: Process simulations for ecological and economic evaluation of CO2 recycling in direct reduction ironmaking"

Six novel routes show how Biomass CO2 Gasification can replace Natural Gas Reforming. Those routes are called BCG-DRI. Explanations and interpretations of these data are available in the journal publication.

Technical details The data consist of three files: Two PNG files that show how the mass and energy balances for NGR-DRI and BCG-DRI are organized in IPSEpro. These files contain the names of relevant streams and are necessary for understanding the detailed stream data in Excel. One XLSX file that contains all raw and interpreted data.

This file contains stream data, techno-economic evaluations, carbon footprint evaluations, and figures. Further details The journal publication is meant to be understood on its own and is supported by this dataset. Therefore, you are highly encouraged to seek out the journal publication first before trying to interprete this dataset.

The journal publication also provides further context, additional data, and properly formatted citations to all relevant literature, which were only given briefly in the XLSX. The date of access for web-based sources was generally in the first half of 2024, but more details are also available in the journal article. Further explanations on how to use the xlsx are given on the READ_ME sheet of the XLSX file.
