A method for producing a syngas stream for use in a blast furnace, including providing a hot air stream to an ion transport membrane, thereby producing a hot nitrogen rich stream and a hot oxygen rich stream, providing a methane stream to the ion transport membrane, wherein the methane reacts with the hot oxygen rich stream thereby producing a syngas containing stream, introducing the syngas containing stream into a CO2 removal unit, thereby producing a carbon dioxide rich stream, and a hydrogen rich stream, and introducing the hydrogen rich stream into a blast furnace, thereby replacing at least a portion of the natural gas fuel required therein. |
