Air Products to Showcase Decarbonization Solutions for Iron and Steel Production at AISTech2024

Air Products Foundation will Donate up to $15,000 to the AIST Foundation

Air Products (NYSE:APD) will showcase industrial gas solutions and technologies for all phases of iron and steel production at AISTech2024 from
May 6-9 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, in Columbus, Ohio.

Those attending are invited to stop by Air Products’ booth, #2130, to speak with an industry specialist and learn more about Air Products’ full suite of on-site gas supply offerings and broad range of decarbonization solutions for the iron and steel industry, from oxy-fuel to carbon capture to hydrogen.

By visiting the Air Products booth, attendees will also be helping the AIST Foundation, which funds initiatives to promote the steel industry as a viable and rewarding career choice for young engineers. The Air Products Foundation has pledged to donate $100 to the AIST Foundation – up to $15,000 in all – for each registered attendee who visits the Air Products booth. 

In addition to showcasing industrial gas solutions in its booth, Air Products’ industry experts will lead a presentation titled “World-Scale Gas Processing – Ready for Decarbonizing Ironmaking,” at 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday, May 7 during the Decarbonization: Blast Furnace Session. 

In that session, Anand Makwana, Air Products’ Senior Principal Research Engineer; and Candice Silvestre, Air Products’ Manager, Blue Hydrogen and Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) Technology will discuss examples of operating and in-construction low-carbon hydrogen plants to meet current and future steelmaking demands, in addition to options for processing blast furnace gases. Deploying these solutions can result in a 75 percent reduction in direct carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from a typical steelmaking site.
