Abstract
This paper calculates the energy and raw materials required to produce tinplate and tin-free steel in the United Kingdom in 1978/79. The production sequence is traced from raw materials in the ground through to finished sheet. The gross energy requirement for the production of tinplate is shown to be 49.79 MJ/kg and that for tin-free steel is 42.86 MJ/kg. A detailed breakdown by fuel type and contributing operation is given and the calculations are based almost entirely on data collected directly from the relevant industries. The results are compared briefly with past performance and with present European practice.
