The work presented in this paper has been supported by both the University of Zaragoza under the project UZ2020-TEC-06 and Khalifa University project CIRA-2020-080. This work has also received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement no. 887077. This work is part of the R&D project PID2021-126164OB-I00, funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/ and by the “ERDF A way of making Europe”. The KPI data (i.e. thermal and electrical penalties (MJ/kgCO2), economic cost ($/tCO2), CO2 emission reduction (kgCO2/tHM), CO2 purity (%) and TRL) extracted from the 120 studies reviewed and analysed in Section 7, is compiled in Table A for each technology, namely post combustion CC with either chemical absorption or membranes, Looping CC with calcium, chemical or other looping process, CC with oxy-blast furnace and TGR, and pre combustion CC with either chemical absorption, adsorption, membranes or SEWGS.

N2 - Decarbonization of the iron and steel industry, which accounts for 7–9% of global annual emissions, is a strategic objective to achieve carbon emissions reduction targets in line with climate change policies, while maintaining economic competitiveness. Carbon capture (CC) technologies are of critical importance to achieve these goals. This work presents the first systematic review of the integration of CC technologies in the blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF) steelmaking route, which is expected to maintain a dominant market share over the coming decades. Integration options for post-combustion, looping cycles, oxy-combustion and pre-combustion are described and compared in terms of energy penalty, carbon emissions abatement potential, cost, technology readiness level, and practical deployment considerations. The review yielded 188 studies from peer-reviewed articles and technical papers. Research is mainly focused on chemical absorption, physical adsorption, and oxy-blast furnace technologies, but other carbon capture methods including calcium looping, Sorption Enhanced Water Gas Shift, and membranes appear promising in terms of cost and carbon emission reduction. This article provides an in-depth analysis of the current state of the art and crucial considerations for future decision making in the techno-economic selection and integration of CC technologies. Barriers to overcome for practical implementation are also identified and discussed in this article.
