Sažetak
Demands to reduce the carbon footprint of metallurgy are being made by the public, environmentalists, regulators. Reducing the carbon footprint for the metallurgical industry means decarbonizing the steel production processes. According to the report of the nonprofit think tank on climate change Sandbag, 41% of emissions can be avoided due to the optimized use of scrap. The technology will increase the use of annual fossil gas or hydrogen consumption to process primary iron ore into metals and replace integrated steel production with electric arc furnaces (EAF). However, EAFs can be virtually carbon-free. Optimization of the use of scrap - its better segregation and removal of impurities. Additional renewable electricity savings are achieved through reuse in the construction sector or through “direct recycling” of end-of-life steel structures without melting them in EAFs.
