Steelmaking by Electric Arc Furnaces Cleaner, More Efficient

EVRAZ Canadian Steel: Low Carbon Footprint November 2016 Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs) with metal scrap: cleaner, more efficient • EVRAZ Regina utilizes two Electricity Steelmaking EAFs to make up to 1.1 Generation million tons of steel per Energy used CO2 emissions CO2 emissions year kg / ton of steel kWh / ton of steel grams / kWh -79% • Over 91% of steelmaking -64% -81% 2,081 in China is from Blast 4,624 764 Oxygen Furnaces (BOFs), which use iron ore, coking coal, and other inputs • For every one ton of steel scrap made into new steel, over 1,400kg of iron ore, 1,647 740kg of coal, and 120kg 441 147 of limestone are saved Overseas input shipping to China Blast EAF Blast EAF China Canada Furance Furnace Sources: BOF percentage: Worldsteel.
