The EAF steelmaking process uses electrical energy as a main source and it is the most expensive form of energy available in the world. This energy is generally produced by using coal in thermal power stations. Therefore, higher energy use not only adds cost to the product steel it also generates more carbon dioxide gas in power plants.

The steel industry accounts for 4% of all the CO2 emissions in Europe and 22% of the industrial carbon emissions in Europe. Several options for its decarbonization are possible: increasing the efficiency of current production methods, recycling of steel, carbon capture and storage (CCS) and hydrogen. Hydrogen as a solution to decarbonize industry has been receiving increasing amounts of ...

The production of steel during the British Industrial Revolution became cheaper and more reliable thanks to the Bessemer converter, a type of blast furnace that removed undesirable impurities from pig iron. The superior strength and durability of steel over iron meant that the metal took over as the preferred choice of civil engineers to build bridges, tunnels, and railway tracks.

The CCS capture rate is assumed to be 80% for coalbased steel making and 85% to produce blue hydrogen. We have taken grid emissions from Sweden to resemble a fully renewablesbased power grid (10 kgCO2/MWh), the Netherlands to resemble a gasbased power grid (325 kgCO2/MWh) and Poland to resemble a coalbased power grid (735 kgCO2/MWh).

The steel sector is currently the largest industrial consumer of coal, which provides around 75% of its energy demand. Coal is used to generate heat and to make coke, which is instrumental in the chemical reactions necessary to produce steel from iron ore. 2 The iron and steel sector accounts for more emissions than all road freight.

Electric arc furnaces (EAF). Steel is an alloy based primarily on iron. As iron occurs only as iron oxides in the earth's crust, the ores must be converted, or 'reduced', using carbon. The primary source of this carbon is coking coal. Coke Making Coking coal is converted to coke by driving off impurities to leave almost pure carbon.
