Sustainability is on everyone’s lips these days. Everyone is talking about decarbonising the steel industry, but this does not stop at ironmaking, even though this process is currently responsible for the largest share of CO2 emissions in the steel industry. Sustainability covers more aspects than just the CO2 emissions of a process, but what does it mean for EAF steelmaking?
To answer this question, this masterclass will cover topics such as energy efficiency, resource efficiency and the carbon footprint of EAF steelmaking. The concepts will be defined and factors influencing sustainability will be discussed. Finally, options to increase the sustainability of EAF steelmaking such as fossil carbon substitutes, energy efficiency improvements and circular economy approaches will be presented.
