Technology and measures

  • Electric arc furnace on scrapcommercialSteel is remelted from scrap in an electric furnace, with no ironmaking step and therefore none of its CO2. It is not an emerging route — it is already two fifths of European output — and what limits it is how much scrap of the right quality Europe collects and keeps, not whether the furnace works.

Funding

No public capital recorded for this project.
