Assess energy and carbon in steel — bf-bof

Set the boundary first. Collect site evidence before selecting a measure or reporting a result.

01

Set the assessment boundary

Separate ironmaking, steelmaking, casting, reheating, utilities and purchased energy. Keep process-route changes separate from utility measures.

02

Collect site evidence

Metallic inputs, coke and injected fuels, process gases, electricity, oxygen, steam, production by product, operating hours and route-specific emission factors.

Inzonex removable modular insulation on industrial equipment
Equipment heat loss

Measure exposed hot surfaces

Use measured surface area, temperature and operating hours to calculate heat loss from boilers, kilns, heat exchangers, valves and pipework. Inzonex supplies removable modular insulation for equipment that requires maintenance access.

  • Design target: surface temperature at or below 45 °C, subject to the application and design review
  • Claimed heat-loss reduction: up to 96%, subject to the measured boundary and insulation specification
  • Removable construction for inspection and maintenance access
  • Calculation record available for the selected equipment and operating conditions

Do not add a calculated reduction to an emissions report until the reporting boundary, factor, implementation date and verification method have been approved.

03

Record the decision

Compare measures on an equivalent steel-product boundary. Record interactions between gas recovery, fuel use, electricity and downstream heat demand.

04

Assess exposed hot equipment

Review hot-blast, steam, boiler-house and reheating services where access, temperature and maintenance requirements can be measured.

05

Use the technical source

International Energy Agency: Iron and Steel

This page does not assign a sector benchmark, standard saving, cost or payback. Use current site data, record the calculation method and obtain the required technical and compliance review.
