Coolbrook is proud to announce the publication of our latest article, “Revolutionising Steel Production: Harnessing RotoDynamic Technology for Decarbonization of High-Temperature Processes,” authored by our CEO, Joonas Rauramo. This article has been featured in the Innovations special of Steel Times International, a leading publication that highlights cutting-edge advancements in the steel industry.
In the article, we explore how Coolbrook’s RotoDynamic Heater™ (RDH™) has the potential to revolutionize steel production by dramatically reducing carbon emissions, replacing fossil fuels, and achieving temperatures up to 1,700°C with an impressive 95% energy efficiency—all powered by renewable electricity.
The RotoDynamic Heater™ enhances efficiency in key production stages, such as preheating scrap metal and other materials, resulting in lower energy consumption, increased throughput, and reduced costs in electric arc furnaces, blast furnaces, and other vital steelmaking processes. Beyond its decarbonization capabilities, RDH™ optimizes overall plant performance, providing significant cost savings and improved resource efficiency per ton of steel produced.
With the potential to eliminate 600 million tons of CO2 emissions annually from the steel industry alone, the RotoDynamic Heater™ represents one of the most promising solutions to decarbonize heavy industry and accelerate the transition to net zero by 2050.
Joonas Rauramo emphasizes the transformative nature of the technology, stating, “A key advantage of the RotoDynamic Heater™ lies in its seamless integration potential into existing steel manufacturing plants without imposing complexities on current infrastructure.”
This groundbreaking technology positions steel manufacturers as leaders in the global clean energy transition and marks a significant step forward in decarbonizing high-temperature industrial processes.
