ISPT presented this model on Thursday at its annual conference in Terneuzen. \u2018With this sort of process in steel production, you\u2019re talking about volumes that are suitable for the chemical industry,\u2019 says director Tjeerd Jongsma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ISPT held the conference at the CO3 Campus in Terneuzen, in collaboration with North Sea Port, to mark the institute\u2019s twentieth anniversary. Jongsma explained the model alongside Kees Biesheuvel, director of <a href=\"https:\/\/ispt-brains.eu\/\">ISPT-Brains<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-out-with-the-nitrogen-in-with-the-co2\">Out with the nitrogen, in with the CO<sub>2<\/sub><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea began with a photo that Jongsma sent to Biesheuvel via a messaging app. \u2018You can see large plumes of smoke coming out of the chimney,\u2019 says Jongsma. \u2018Actually, the steel-making process is a chemical process. At Tata, they carry it out in a relatively open process. And the question is: can\u2019t we simply close that process?\u2019 According to Biesheuvel, the photo led to a discussion about the steel-making process and previous attempts by ISPT. \u2018And then we suddenly had an \u201caha\u201d moment.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A blast furnace uses carbon to extract the oxygen from the iron ore. This leaves the furnace as CO\u2082 and partly as carbon monoxide, which can be utilised in chemical processes. However, the nitrogen from the air gets in the way, explains Biesheuvel. \u2018What if we didn\u2019t put that nitrogen in at all?\u2019 Injecting oxygen alone doesn\u2019t work properly because of the flammability. \u2018We\u2019re actually proposing to replace that 60 per cent nitrogen with CO\u2082,\u2019 says Jongsma. \u2018And then you\u2019re left with just oxygen and CO\u2082.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Biesheuvel, the gas coming out of the furnace is easy to separate. The CO\u2082 goes back into the furnace, whilst the carbon monoxide is sent to a process that adds value to it. \u2018Then you can use it to make all sorts of things: methanol, diesel, kerosene.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ispt.eu\/media\/20260718-Emissievrije-staalproductie-concept-schets-V0.2-1028x578.jpg\" alt=\"Circular Steel-Chemical business model ISPT\" class=\"wp-image-48381\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The model as presented.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018You keep the problems in-house,\u2019 says Biesheuvel. \u2018That way, a steel company doesn\u2019t just become a steel producer, but also forges a link with the chemical sector: the carbon-processing industry, which currently still relies on fossil fuels. That knowledge and expertise is already in place there. And you already have a large proportion of your facilities \u2013 the blast furnaces and downstream plants \u2013 in the Botlek.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-upgrades-to-existing-installations\">Upgrades to existing installations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the long term, ISPT also wants to use waste plastic to produce new steel. According to Jongsma, this cannot be done all at once. Anyone wishing to use only waste plastic as a raw material will need wind farms in the North Sea to generate the hydrogen, and these do not yet exist. \u2018That doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re having a revolution, but rather an evolution towards a circular system. And in doing so, I\u2019m still using the existing \u201cpots and pans\u201d, because otherwise nobody will invest.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first stage, the steelworks still uses coal, but utilises each carbon atom twice. \u2018If you can use a carbon atom twice in the first stage, you\u2019ve already achieved an immediate 50 per cent reduction,\u2019 says Jongsma. \u2018Take an average steelworks with two blast furnaces; that produces an average of 10 million tonnes of CO\u2082 emissions,\u2019 says Biesheuvel. \u2018The Netherlands emits a total of 120 million tonnes, so this represents a massive reduction in CO\u2082 emissions.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steel-companies-interested\">Steel companies interested<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ISPT has put the idea to ArcelorMittal and Tata Steel. \u2018They are very interested,\u2019 says Biesheuvel. \u2018We do realise that this won\u2019t happen overnight.\u2019 One company cannot set up such a supply chain on its own, says Jongsma. The evening before the conference, ISPT asked petrochemical companies if they would like to get involved. According to him, everyone is positive, but the business case still needs to be worked out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was, however, some criticism from the audience. One visitor pointed out that the end product is based on fossil carbon and that it would therefore have to compete with fossil fuels on the market. And that price will not be achievable. \u2018We mustn\u2019t try to write the whole thing off before we\u2019ve even started,\u2019 responds Jongsma. \u2018If we focus too much on the risks, it won\u2019t take off. The environment stands to benefit immediately, and this is an intermediate step towards circularity.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-not-all-value-is-reflected-in-the-price\">Not all value is reflected in the price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Diane Zandee, a lecturer at Nyenrode Business University, often sees financing as a bottleneck. \u2018The technical solutions are often there, but how do we finance them?\u2019 Costs and revenues do not always lie with the same party; costs are incurred now and benefits are realised later, and not all value has a price. \u2018Accounting needs to innovate too.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zandee advocates circular accounting, which also takes into account value beyond the traditional cost price. Companies must make performance indicators such as lifespan, emissions, environmental benefits and quality measurable and enshrine them in contracts with the next party in the chain. \u2018A great deal of value is created between parties, but they still communicate with one another too little.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1028\" height=\"685\" data-id=\"2241\" src=\"https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01797-1028x685.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01797-1028x685.jpg 1028w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01797-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01797-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01797-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01797-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01797-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1028px) 100vw, 1028px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1028\" height=\"685\" data-id=\"2243\" src=\"https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01846-1028x685.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01846-1028x685.jpg 1028w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01846-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01846-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01846-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01846-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01846-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1028px) 100vw, 1028px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1028\" height=\"685\" data-id=\"2242\" src=\"https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01927-1028x685.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01927-1028x685.jpg 1028w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01927-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01927-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01927-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01927-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01927-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1028px) 100vw, 1028px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1028\" height=\"685\" data-id=\"2244\" src=\"https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01934-1028x685.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01934-1028x685.jpg 1028w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01934-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01934-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01934-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01934-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC01934-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1028px) 100vw, 1028px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1028\" height=\"685\" data-id=\"2240\" src=\"https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC02069-1028x685.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC02069-1028x685.jpg 1028w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC02069-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC02069-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC02069-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC02069-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/DSC02069-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1028px) 100vw, 1028px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1028\" height=\"685\" data-id=\"2239\" src=\"https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/P1018375-1028x685.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/P1018375-1028x685.jpg 1028w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/P1018375-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/P1018375-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/P1018375-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/P1018375-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ispt.eu\/conference\/media\/P1018375-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1028px) 100vw, 1028px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bringing-chains-together\">Bringing chains together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018The fundamental principle of ISPT is to connect \u2013 particularly people,\u2019 says Jongsma. By bringing stakeholders together, the institute accelerates innovation in the sector. ISPT is a public-private partnership, but privately funded. \u2018The companies themselves are the driving force behind ISPT. As a result, we are not so dependent on the government.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/ispt.eu\/programs\/circular-plastics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Circular Plastics Programme<\/a>, stakeholders had to learn to speak each other\u2019s language, says Jongsma. \u2018From the Unilevers to the Dows of this world, they didn\u2019t understand one another.\u2019 The nature of collaboration is also changing. \u2018In the past, collaboration was mainly technical, but now it\u2019s also economic. New business models need to be developed. That, too, is typically where ISPT comes in.\u2019 The steel project is a case in point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-implementation-and-market-protection\">Implementation and market protection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The closing discussion centred on politics. \u2018Here in the Netherlands and across Europe, we\u2019re keen to draw up plans \u2013 there are more than enough of them \u2013 but it\u2019s all about implementation,\u2019 says Alex Krijger, a geopolitical adviser and lecturer at Leiden University. \u2018You can only expect businesses to bear the brunt of the transition if you also protect your own market.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maarten den Dekker, Chief Commercial &amp; Sustainability Officer at North Sea Port, sees an imbalance. \u2018Politicians are quick to spend billions to maintain today\u2019s purchasing power. But making or facilitating investments that secure the purchasing power of the future is often very difficult.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies that retain young people also bring their sustainability ethos into the organisation. This is highly developed among Gen Z. In his keynote speech, Krijger therefore addressed the question of how companies can retain that generation. \u2018Listen very carefully to their values,\u2019 he says. \u2018They are very loyal to society and the planet, but this manifests itself differently from the older generation. Only then can you bind them to your organisation and your sustainability objectives.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-mint-background-color has-background\"><em>This article was originally published in Dutch on<\/em> <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.industrielinqs.nl\/petrochem\/2026\/11\/ispt-hoogovengas-staalindustrie-met-koolmonoxide-als-circulaire-grondstof-voor-de-petrochemie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IndustrieLinqs<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISPT presented a circular model on its annual conference in Terneuzen.
