The Best Available Techniques as Basis of Steel Industry’s of Energy Environment Efficiency Increase

Abstract

There was carried out comparison of basic trends and results of iron and steel industry’s energy environment efficiency increase for Russia and EC-27 countries. Study was completed on the base of materials of Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys, FSAEI HPE Urals Federal University, Best Available Techniques (BAT) Reference Document for Iron and Steel Production from 8 March of 2012 as well as other publications. It was evaluated that for Iron and Steel Works of Russia and EC-27 under usage of the best of available techniques will be the next performances: production energy efficiency: 600 – 660 kg of reference fuel/ metric tons of mill products, equivalent mass of emissions: 50 – 100 kg/ metric tons of mill products. These performances for Russia are 1, 5 times as little than industry-average energy consumption and 3-5 times as little than equivalent mass of emissions.
