Coal’s grip on the global electricity sector is loosening as more utilities and companies invest in renewable energy. But one major coal consumer—the steel industry—is finding it harder to kick its ...

Iron ore, steel scrap, and coal are three main raw materials for steelmaking. Steelmaking is a raw material–intensive business, and it may not always be possible for steel companies to pass on the ...

British researchers have found a way to cut emissions of planet-warming carbon dioxide from steelmaking — and save money too. Steel production accounts for about 7% of the world’s carbon emissions. It ...

Steelmaking is an energy intensive industry, whose heavy reliance on fossil fuels creates significant pollution. Using renewable, clean energy sources for steel production is one approach to reduce ...

A researcher at Binghamton University received almost half a million dollars from the US National Science Foundation to investigate how hydrogen-based direct reduction works at the atomic level. The ...

Reducing carbon emissions from steelmaking is a complex area that requires a comprehensive approach, including improvements in energy efficiency, carbon capture, and the development of new ...

Abstract: The steelmaking-continuous casting (SCC) process, which consists of steelmaking, refining and continuous casting stage, is usually the critical process in iron and steel industry. This paper ...

The shift towards green hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (DRI) processes is widely considered a key step in the global steel sector’s decarbonisation pathway. While supply of suitable direct ...

Steel produced by electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmakers in the U.S. has a carbon intensity that is approximately 75 percent lower than traditional blast furnace steelmakers, according to the results ...

Korea will push to develop hydrogen-based steelmaking technology by 2030 to support the local steel industry's efforts to bolster its global competitiveness and achieve carbon neutrality, the industry ...
