Green power

For the main process of pig iron and crude steel production and, if necessary, for the hot rolling process, mainly renewable energy from wind, solar or hydropower is used.

 

Mixing energy

For the main process of pig iron and crude steel production and, if necessary, for the hot rolling process, mainly mixed energy from coal, gas or nuclear power is used. (Nuclear power is currently still considered as mixed energy).

 

No external power

For the main process of pig iron and crude steel production and, if applicable, for the hot rolling process, essentially no external energy is used. In the case of integrated iron and steel mills, for example, the necessary energy is generated by capturing the gases produced in the steelmaking process and converting them into electricity.
