Environmentally Driven Threats and Opportunities for Natural Gas in the Iron andSteel Industry. Topical Report, December 1992-November 1994

摘要

The purpose of this report is to analyze threats and opportunities for gas use inthe iron and steel industry and identify research and development (R&D) opportunities for gas-based technologies. This report characterizes energy consumption, particularly gas use, and pollution generation in the industry. The role of natural gas in iron and steel production is analyzed and key areas of change in the industry are identified. Among the areas of change evaluated are overall industry trends, technology developments, and new environmental regulations. Finally, this report identifies areas where research initiatives may create or protect gas applications.
