Applied Energy, 1986, vol. 23, issue 2, 73-107

Abstract: An analysis of the present pattern of energy use in the United Kingdom iron and steel industry is presented: it draws on detailed information from published statistics. Account is taken of structural changes in the industry, together with the likely uptake of energy efficiency measures, to examine the prospects for improved energy efficiency in this industry up to the year 2000. This analysis suggests that energy requirements in the iron and steel industry could well decline, from the present 20 GJ per tonne of crude steel to levels some 18-24 per cent lower, by the year 2000.
