Abstract

In this paper, the energy saving processes and main affecting factors of energy consumption and CO2 emission were analyzed, based on the energy consumption and CO2 emission status of Chinese iron and steel industry (CISI), The process which is mainly based on BF-BOF route and adopt coal as the main energy sources is the main factor to result in high energy consumption and CO2 emission in CISI. During the 30 years development of energy saving since 1980, the direct and indirect energy savings was analyzed and compared with the energy saving potential analysis. To comparing the energy use in different works and improve energy efficiency, the energy consumption and CO2 emission index from different analysis system is discussed. The analysis results will contribute to the development of energy saving and help to achieve the sustainable development of the CISI.
