KOPIE VON: EAF Energy Management and Steel Decarbonisation
02.06.2025
This brief evaluates energy consumption in the steel industry and its role in the decarbonisation efforts in the industry with an emphasis on the EAF based production route. Globally, steel industry emits ~3.6Gt of CO2 accounting for a share of 7-9 % of the global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. The carbon emissions associated with the steel industry are attributed to the use of the fossil fuels.

Heat treatment for the production of electrical tubular heating elements
15.12.2025
Tubular heating elements are electrical heating elements which consist of a thin resistance wire built as a fine spiral, which is placed central in a protection tube made of metal. The tube is filled with a insulating compound. This basic principal configuration was already patented in USA in 1859. More than half a century passed until this idea could be used comercially.
