WhatsApp: +86 18838072829Steel can be produced via two main processes: either using an integrated blast furnace (BF)/basic oxygen furnace (BOF) or an electric arc furnace (EAF). While integrated players produce steel from iron ore and need coal as a reductant, EAF producers use steel scrap or direct reduced iron (DRI) as their main raw material.

WhatsApp: +86 18838072829Iron and steelmaking is the largest single industrial CO 2 emitter, accounting for % of all CO 2 emissions on the planet. This fact challenges the current technologies to achieve carbonlean steel production and to align with the requirement of a drastic reduction of 80% in all CO 2 emissions by around 2050. Thus, alternative reduction technologies have to be implemented for extracting ...
