Decarbonizing steel and
metal manufacturing

The steel industry is at the heart of the global economy as it is fundamental to a successful circular economy. Yet it also generates a significant amount of waste heat. As coal still meets 75% of the energy demand for converting iron to steel in the furnace, its footprint unlikely to reduce soon.

This creates challenges for a net-zero roadmap, with efforts to meet green steel production requiring dramatic re-designs to integrate renewable resources and shift from fossil-based fuels to hydrogen sourced from renewable energy.

Energy efficiency is a vital lever for industry competitiveness, and a driver to increase sustainability. Adopting material efficiency strategies to reduce losses and optimize energy use throughout the value chain can curb demand and thus support net-zero goals.   Thermal energy storage is the solution to efficiently utilizing remaining sources of unutilized waste heat in steel and iron making, by coping with the volatility of batch processes and balancing supply and demand.
