Today, investors worldwide are looking and waiting for new signals from steel market to understand where to direct and dedicate their money, energy and resources for possible alternative business. Because of uncertainty in the market, steelmakers are looking for more flexible operation to catch the changing market demands.
According to requirements of the market, steel production will be increased, and new investment will be try to answer.
Competition will be even more difficult, and the steelmakers will look new concepts to reduce the steelmaking costs.
Why the energy efficiency is important?

Approximately 12% of energy produced all over the world is consumed at Iron & Steel Industry.
So we can understand the importance of energy efficiency.
With the increasing of steel production, studies of to reduce the energy consumption are became important.
But, 50% of consumed energy is loss due to  several reasons.
In the end of these studies, the recovered energy will be very high, and the costs can be reduced with possible new concept investments.

5 Main Input For Meltshops With EAF
1. Scrap
2. Energy
3. Refractory
4. Ferro Alloys
5. Electrodes

To reduce the scrap cost is limited for steelmakers but they can recude energy consupmtion themselves.
The scrap cost is determined by market. And request of steel production is increased every day.
Based on this growing, coke, iron ore and scrap requested are increased so much and their international costs will be higher than the past.
The difference between product and input price, is determined to the profit of steelmakers.

There are a lot of inputs and outputs of EAF.
But the most important and can be reduced one is electricity energy.
How can we reduced the electricity energy consupmtion?
With classical methods, this is not advantage for the competition because of all important competitors knows to use this energy input.
With new concepts, this can be created to make a difference if you can find the right investments.
