Waste-derived reducing agents for your blast furnace
Our waste-derived reducing agents enter the blast furnace through existing PCI or bespoke feed systems.
How it works
01
An alternative reducing agent for your blast furnace.
Materials are injected via existing PCI or bespoke feed systems.
02
With three decades of experience, we know how waste properties affect your furnace.
We develop our materials for different feed and dosing systems.
03
Subcoal® pellets match bituminous coal in heating value and can be handled the same way as coal.
A study at Montanuniversität Leoben tested Subcoal® as a blast furnace reducing agent.
Every tonne you replace is CO₂ you don’t emit.
We handle sourcing, quality control, permits and daily logistics by truck, rail or sea, so you can focus on your process.
Impact
00%
Less CO₂ per tonne of product
Waste-derived fuels emit around half the CO₂ of fossil fuels.
00
Tonnes less fossil fuel purchased per year
PAF can replace up to 100% of fossil fuels in existing burners.
CSRD & ETS
Demonstrable in your reporting
Subcoal® contains around 50% biogenic content, cutting emissions.
Portfolio
These materials replace coal in blast furnaces, fed through existing or bespoke systems.
How we keep to that specification
01
Grip on the source
We source from several countries, so you never depend on one stream.
02
Our own sorting
Our own MRFs in the UK and the Netherlands sort the waste we work with.
03
Thirty years of measurement data
Three decades of data on how waste quality affects process parameters.
Doesn't fit? Then we make it fit.
Does your process need something different? We develop bespoke fuels with you, based on both the physical feeding requirements and the chemical product and emission requirements of your process.
Shape
Pellets, powder or loose fuel
Size
