3D — DMX demonstration in Dunkirk is ArcelorMittal's steel project at Dunkirk, France.
Why it matters
It is running.
- 3D — DMX demonstration in Dunkirk started operating on 14 March 2024. as of 2024-03-14
- It is at Dunkirk, France. as of 2024-03-14
- It uses carbon capture on blast-furnace gas and CO2 transport and storage. as of 2024-03-14
- No committed public money is on file for it. as of 2024-03-14
Where 3D — DMX demonstration in Dunkirk is
3D — DMX demonstration in Dunkirk is at Dunkerque steelworks. Also in frame: 1 site using the same technology, 1 site in the same sector.

Status
- Announced
- Funded
- FID taken
- In construction
- 2024-03-14The pilot unit on blast-furnace gas is running and reported capture rates above 90%. No primary source for the earlier start-up has been read, so the history starts at the result.source
Technology and measures
- Carbon capture on blast-furnace gaspilotCO2 is separated from the gases a blast furnace gives off, which leaves the ironmaking route in place and treats its output instead. It is the competitor to conversion rather than a part of it: a site that captures keeps the asset it has, and a site that converts writes it off.
- CO2 transport and storageearly-commercialThe pipelines, ships, terminals and permitted geological stores that a captured tonne has to reach before it counts as abated, and which no single site that captures can build for itself.
Funding
No public capital recorded for this project.
