The integration of solar energy is helping usher in a new era of more sustainable steel production, with facilities making the switch to renewable power.
The challenge, however, is ensuring that the electricity used is derived from renewable sources — and solar energy plays a vital role in this process. Solar power offers a sustainable, cost-effective, and stable energy source for green steel production.
Traditional steel production uses large amounts of fossil fuel energy to generate the temperatures needed, but the industry is working hard to find alternative ways of powering this process. Indeed, three of the world's top steel producing companies are already taking the leap towards solar powered steel production.
The industry has been hard at work on improving the efficiency of its operations – producing a tonne of steel takes 40% less energy than it did in 1960 – and solar is set to play a key role in improving steel's sustainability. Using solar power in its production allows EVRAZ to create more sustainable steel.
