The worldwide industrial solutions company Harsco Corporation has announced that it will team up with clean energy technology company LanzaTech to promote a strategy for the capture and reuse of steel mill flue gases  as an environmentally significant and beneficial source of reliable energy.

The agreement should see Harsco’s connections within the steel industry combine with LanzaTech’s knowledge of clean energy technologies to create a strategy for reducing the carbon footprint of steelmaking operations. The two companies will now formulate a strategy to present the technologies to steel mill operators.

Harsco Chairman, President and CEO Salvatore Fazzolari commented “The conversion of industrial waste streams into beneficial ‘green’ resources has long been a Harsco mainstay. With LanzaTech, we now add another dimension to our ability to bring innovation to our customers and at the same time, help build a more sustainable environment.”

LanzaTech CEO Dr. Jennifer Holmgren added “Harsco’s commitment to minimizing the environmental impact of metal production processes is in line with the unique technology LanzaTech has developed. As heavy industries worldwide face an increasingly stringent regulatory climate, our relationships with committed partners such as Harsco respond to these challenges with technology-based solutions for a cleaner environment that also enable continued growth.”
