Particularly, the primary steel synthesis, responsible for about two thirds of today’s global steel market, is highly CO2-intensive owing to the use of fossil reductants (such as coal, coke, or natural gas) to reduce iron oxides3. It emits on average ~1.9 tons of CO2 per ton of crude...
Voestalpine Texas LLC is designed to have an annual output of 2 million tons of high-quality HBI or sponge iron, a sophisticated pre-material used in steel production. Of the total, about 800,000 tons will be shipped to Voestalpine plants in Austria, and the remaining 60 percent consumed by...
Anthracite coal is a hard, glossy black coal that is used in steelmaking. According to the American Iron and Steel Institute: “The largest single use of coal in the steel industry is as a fuel for the blast furnace, either for the production of metallurgical coke or for injection with the...
The rules target contaminants released by steel facilities’ coke ovens. Gas from the ovens creates an individual cancer risk in the air around steel plants of 50 in 1,000,000, which public health advocates say is dangerous for children and p...
