Researchers have developed a new process to reduce CO2 emission of worldwide steel production by several hundred million tons per year. It is based on modernizing blast furnace technology with ...

Tata Steel's EASyMelt technology aims to halve coke usage in blast furnaces, enhancing steel production and reducing ...

The process of ironmaking has relied for centuries on iron ore, an impure form of iron oxide, slowly being reduced to iron by carbon monoxide in a furnace. Whether that furnace is the charcoal fire of ...

A new iron making technology developed in China is set to significantly impact the global steel industry. Developed after more than 10 years of research, this method injects finely ground iron ore ...

Salzgitter’s relined Blast Furnace A at Flachstahl works, with an investment of €100 million, is now capable of producing up to 2 million metric tons of pig iron annually. The relining process ...

Iron and steel production is among the largest industrial sources of carbon dioxide, accounting for around 7–9 per cent of global emissions. Biomass offers a renewable pathway to replace fossil carbon ...

Worldwide, we produce more than two gigatons of steel a year, the vast majority of which is produced in blast furnaces. In order to make the blast furnace process more sustainable—less energy ...
