Abstract: Exergy analysis has been applied to the life cycle of steel. Our model yields the estimate that the U.K. steel sector consumed 22GJ of exergy per tonne of steel delivered to product manufacture in 1994. The analysis shows that process improvement and increased recycling within the life cycle will reduce exergy consumption.
