Abstract
Steel industry is a major energy consumption sector requiring large quantities of fuel in order to operate its various units. There are two main types of fuel used in the steel industry, fuel oil and natural gas. Natural gas burns better than fuel oil and produces less combustion products that are harmful to the environment. The Libyan Iron and Steel Company uses fuel oil as a main source of energy in its operations. Calculations are carried out to determine equivalent amounts of natural gas to fuel oil being used in the company as well as quantities of CO2, SO2 produced from combustion of both fuels. The results showed the possibility of reducing the amounts CO2 by about 25.7% and eliminating SO2 by switching to natural gas usage in the company.
