  • estimates of the potential for energy conservation in the chinese Steel Industry
    Energy Policy, 2011
    Co-Authors: Boqiang Lin, Li Zhang
    Abstract:

    The study evaluates the energy saving potential of the Chinese Steel Industry by studying its potential future energy efficiency gap. In order to predict the future energy efficiency gap, a multivariate regression model combined with risk analysis is developed to estimate future energy intensity of China's Steel Industry. It is found that R&D intensity, energy saving investment, labor productivity and Industry concentration are all important variables that affect energy intensity. We assess the possible measures as to how China's Steel Industry can narrow the energy efficiency gap with Japan by means of scenario analysis. Using Japan's current energy efficiency level as baseline, the energy saving potential of China's Steel Industry is more than 200 million ton coal equivalent in 2008, and it would fall to zero in 2020. However, if greater efforts were made to conserve energy, it would be possible to narrow down the energy efficiency gap between China and Japan by around 2015. Finally, using the results of the scenario analysis, future policy priorities for energy conservation in China's Steel Industry are assessed in this paper.

  • Emission reduction of China׳s Steel Industry: Progress and challenges
    Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2016
    Co-Authors: Kaile Zhou, Shanlin Yang
    Abstract:

    Abstract China has become the world׳s largest country in Steel production and consumption. Steel Industry is one of the major high-polluting industries, and serious pollution problems have been caused by Steel Industry in China. In this paper, we first present a review of the development status and the emissions of China׳s Steel Industry. Then, the emission reduction measures of China׳s Steel Industry are analyzed. These measures include the overall actions on emission reduction in China and some actions on emission reduction of China׳s Steel Industry. Finally, suggestions in five aspects to further promote the emission reduction of China׳s Steel Industry are proposed and discussed, including eliminating backward Steel production capacity, improving the legal system of emission control, strengthening government regulation, improving Steel production technology and efficiency, and establishing the national carbon emission trading market of the Steel Industry.

  • ISIP - Evaluation on Sustainable Development of China's Iron and Steel Industry
    2008 International Symposiums on Information Processing, 2008
    Co-Authors: Shao Qiujun, Zhang Qun
    Abstract:

    This paper analyze the development status of Chinapsilas iron & Steel Industry and point out the problems that exist and describe the development prospect of Chinapsilas iron & Steel Industry. It lists the reasons that we must choose the means of sustainable development on the way to realize the change from an iron & Steel big country to an iron and Steel powerful country. Then, the paper gives mathematical model to calculate the sustainable development of the iron and Steel Industry. Finally some suggestions for the stable and healthily development of Chinese iron & Steel Industry are put forward in the paper.

  • NATURAL RESOURCES AND DEVELOPMENT OF Steel Industry
    Ironmaking & Steelmaking, 2002

  • Biomass applications in iron and Steel Industry: An overview of challenges and opportunities
    Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2016
    Co-Authors: Elsayed Mousa, Johan Riesbeck, Chuan Wang, Mikael Larsson
    Abstract:

    The iron and Steel Industry accounts for about 20% of the annual industrial energy utilization. The intensive fossil fuel consumption in Steel Industry is associated with CO2emission. In the absence of economically feasible and efficient methods for capture and storage of enormous quantities of CO2emissions from Steel Industry, the use of biomass products as a source of energy and reducing agents provides a promising alternative solution for green Steel production. However, the biomass application in iron and Steel Industry is still limited and it suffers strong competition from fossil fuels. The challenges of biomass usage in Steel Industry are included technical and economic aspects which required synergy between Steelmaking and bioenergy sectors. Although intensive work has been carried out separately, there is a lack of link between these two vital sectors. The present article provides a comprehensive review of recent research progresses which have been conducted on biomass upgrading and analysing the opportunities and obstacles for biomass implementation in iron and Steel Industry. In the first part, an overview on the energy consumption and CO2emissions in different iron and Steelmaking routes is clarified. Moreover, the potential approaches of biomass conversion processes and upgrading technologies are reviewed. In the second part, an attention has been paid to the utilization of torrefied/pyrolyzed biomass in the energy-intensive ironmaking processes. Biomass addition to coal blend during cokemaking and its influence on the product coke quality is discussed. The partial and complete substitution of coke breeze with biochar in sintering process and its influence on the product sinter quality is explained. The impact of charcoal top charging or injection into blast furnace has been elaborated. Benefits and limitations of biomass application in each process are thoroughly discussed. In the third part, an economic analysis of biomass implementation for low-carbon Steel is addressed.
