CRUDE STEEL PRODUCTION: CHINA / INDIA
6
TYPICAL COST BREAK UP OF HOT METAL Coke is the major cost component; yet is in short supply/expensive.
7
Reduction, 0.86 t Recycling 0.68 t Primary process, 1.54 t Steel – excellent material in terms of sustainability – can be infinitely recycled without loss of quality. Steel from ore produces 1.54 t CO 2 per tonne of crude steel globally; 2.4-2.6 t CO 2 in India. EAF steelmaking using recycled scrap generates only 0.68 t CO 2. CO 2 EMISSION IN STEEL PROCESSING (t per tcs)
8
After steel, aluminium is the most widely used metal. In 2006, out of 34 Mt aluminium produced worldwide, 23% was secondary aluminium. Aluminium scrap processing leads to some loss of quality, but energy is only 5% of primary production. Hence, 9.87 t of CO 2 saved for every tonne aluminium produced by secondary processing. Primary process, 10.60 t CO 2 CO 2 EMISSION IN ALUMINIUM PROCESSING (t/t)
9
Globally 35% of 17 Mt copper produced each year is from recycling of copper scrap. The secondary process saves 3.5 tonnes CO 2 per tonne of copper produced – 36% improvement compared to the primary route, There is 5% material loss and some difference in quality between primary and secondary copper. Primary process, 5.5 t CO 2 Reduction, 3.52 t Secondary Process, 1.98 t CO 2 EMISSION IN COPPER PROCESSING (t/t)
10
Recycling process Reduction CO 2 EMISSIONS (t/t product) FOR STEEL, ALUMINIUM, COPPER and PAPER Steel is the least CO 2 generating metal. Paper produces less CO 2, but has limited application.
