The process parameters, input-output data of raw materials and energy related to each process were displayed and collected. The life
Whilst electric steelmaking furnaces can be readily decarbonised through renewable power, the most promising options to decarbonise ironmaking are: (i) green hydrogen(H 2)-based direct reduction
The two companies agreed that Octopus will supply Salzgitter with 126 gigawatt hours of clean electricity per year from the Schiebsdorf solar farm in Brandenburg. The deal supports Salzgitter''s aim to pioneer a low-carbon steelmaking program. The steelmaking sector in Germany currently accounts for 28% of the country''s industrial emissions.

Solar energy first generates electricity. This part of electricity is directly used in EAF steelmaking processes by electrical equipment. In addition, the remaining electricity is adopted for thermal energy, such as producing steam or preheating the furnace charge.
Zhu et al. (2022) aimed at the non-carbon-related energy sources in EAF steelmaking processes, and theoretically suggested that the production cost, emissions related to energy, and electricity demand could be attenuated through the wind and solar power generation.
5. Conclusions In China, the current development of EAF steelmaking processes is limited by the extensive electricity consumption and expensive electricity cost. Solar clean electricity is expected to attenuate this weakness while gaining better environmental performance.
The process of steel production derives from two main routes. Electric arc furnace steelmaking (EAF) process is one of the ways to produce steel (Yang et al., 2021).
