Description

The iron and steel industry is one of the largest industrial CO2 emitters and a transition to greener and more sustainable production routes is inevitable. The green transition will bring a number of new processes to our industry requiring optimization to ensure that the best production process is used for the targeted steel and product quality. Oxygen steelmaking will play a crucial role in this optimization leading to a more focused use of oxygen steelmaking for applications were it is strictly necessary while leaving the more easy grades to alternative production routes.
