As the global economy shifts toward sustainability and decarburization, ferrous scrap is emerging as a crucial raw material. Let’s delve into the world of scrap metal, its environmental impact, and how our company, Kasra International Trading Group, can play a pivotal role in this dynamic market.
- The Rise of Ferrous Scrap
Circular Economy and Steel Production
The steel industry, responsible for approximately 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions, faces the challenge of reducing its environmental footprint. To achieve this, the transition to a low-carbon economy necessitates changes in steel production methods. Enter ferrous scrap, a key player in establishing a circular economy.
Steel is predominantly produced through two main processes:
Blast Furnace-Basic Oxygen Furnace (BF-BOF): This traditional method uses coke to produce iron from ore. Unfortunately, it is highly emissions-intensive, with 90% of production relying on coal.
Electric Arc Furnace (EAF): The secondary process, which melts down scrap and recycled steel, offers a more sustainable alternative. EAF-based steelmaking emits fewer direct emissions, especially when powered by renewable energy sources.
Scrap’s Environmental Impact
Reducing Emissions: EAF-based steelmaking emits significantly less CO2 compared to BF-BOF steelmaking. For every tons of scrap used, emissions decrease by 1.5 tons of CO2.
Resource Conservation: Using scrap avoids the consumption of 1.4 tons of iron ore, 740 kg of coal, and 120 kg of limestone per tons of steel produced.
