Current State of Energy Consumption and Countermeasures of Energy Saving for Iron and Steel Industry in China

Abstract

In this paper, we find that factors which affect energy consumption are steel ratio coefficient and process energy consumption by analyzing energy consumption of every process in integrated steel works. On this basis we point out the main reason for the high energy consumption of iron and steel industry in China is that integrated steel works examine the production process without system energy saving ideas. Therefore we propose the countermeasures of energy saving in iron and steel industry in China in aspects of energy management and control center, iron-making system, steel-making system, steel rolling system, as well as secondary energy recovery, which is aimed at providing a way for energy saving and emissions reduction of iron and steel industry in China.
