Coking Coal for steel production and alternatives
By Noah Beecher Kelk Metallurgical coal, also called metcoal or coking coal, is a type of coal that is used in the production of steel It is of a higher purity than thermal coal which is used in energy generation To make steel From there, the coal is converted into coke and then used in the blast furnacebasic oxygen steelmaking process Coal does three things in this process: it is burned to supply the huge amounts of heat required, it supplies gases to strip oxygen from the iron ore and roughly 1% of the coal ends up as carbon in the steelDo we really need coal to make steel? – Wildsight Since coal is a nonrenewable energy source, the team here at Pearson Fuels have decided to go over how it is used in the steel industry and whether steel production will be able to outlast the demise of the fossil fuel Read on to find out more How is Steel Made? In order to make steel, iron ore must be mined and extracted from the groundThe Use of Coal in the Steel Industry Pearson Fuels
Steel production World Coal Association
Steel production Steel is produced via two main routes: the blast furnacebasic oxygen furnace (BFBOF) route and electric arc furnace (EAF) route The BFBOF route is used for 71% of steel produced, whilst the EAF route accounts for 29% of steel produced The key difference between these routes is the material used to produce the steel and Steel is commonly used in modern society and is probably the most important construction material of today ()This chapter deals with coal use and ways for increasing its efficiency in ironmaking, steelmaking, secondary or ladle metallurgy and continuous casting by different steel production routesCoal use in iron and steel metallurgy ScienceDirectan essential ingredient in the production of steel Also called metallurgical or coking coal, it is necessary for building infrastructure such as rail, bridges and schools and improving the quality of life for people around the world Steel and steelmaking coal used to Steelmaking Coal Teck
How the global steel industry is cutting out coal The
Steelmaking has conventionally relied on metallurgical coal, which is rich in carbon, in the production of pure iron, essential in steel The coal is used for heating, but also for a chemical reaction in which a carbondense substance called coke, derived Pulverised Coal Injection (PCI)10One tonne of PCI coal used for steel production displaces about 14 tonnes of coking coal Coals used for pulverised coal injection into blast furnaces have more narrowly defined qualities than steam coal used in electricity generation Recycled steel Steel products naturally contribute to resource conservationSteel and raw materials World steel production in 2011 was 1518 Mt and used 761 Mt of coal – 12% of all hard coal mined The Glenbrook plant (now owned by Bluescope) makes 600650,000 tpy steel and uses 750,000 tpy Huntly coal plus 1,000 GWh electricity and some Natural Gas, supplying 90% of NZ’s needsCan We Make Steel Without Coal?

steel production, coking coal World Coal Association
Global steel production is dependent on coal 70% of the steel produced today uses coal Metallurgical coal – or coking coal – is a vital ingredient in the steel making process World crude steel production was 14 billion tonnes in 2010 Around 721 million tonnes of coking coal was used in the production of steel World steel production in 2011 was 1518 Mt and used 761 Mt of coal – 12% of all hard coal mined The Glenbrook plant (now owned by Bluescope) makes 600650,000 tpy steel and uses 750,000 tpy Huntly coal plus 1,000 GWh electricity and some Natural Gas, supplying 90% of NZ’s needs It also recycles steel Can we make steel with less coal?Can We Make Steel Without Coal? Coal Action Global steel production is dependent on coal and more and more the world is turning to Canada for its supply of quality steelmaking coal For example, to meet its rapid infrastructure growth and consumer demand for things such as vehicles and home appliances, Asia has turned to Canada for its highquality steelmaking coalCoal Production Stats
Demand – Coal 2020 – Analysis IEA
The remainder was metallurgical coal used mainly for steel production Compared with 2018, coal consumption fell 18%, or 18 Mt in 2019, almost exclusively due to lower thermal coal use for power generation Declining coal demand reflects India’s slower economic growth and significant hydropower output with heavy monsoon rains in 2019 So, steel can be made without metallurgical coal And green steel made from renewablegenerated hydrogen may one day be affordable Until then, lowercost innovations such as HydroMOR can help bridge the gap between today’s use of metallurgical coal and tomorrows hydrogen futureCan we make steel without metallurgical coal? ECT Pulverised Coal Injection (PCI)10One tonne of PCI coal used for steel production displaces about 14 tonnes of coking coal Coals used for pulverised coal injection into blast furnaces have more narrowly defined qualities than steam coal used in electricity generation Recycled steel Steel products naturally contribute to resource conservationSteel and raw materials
Is It Possible To Make Steel Without Fossil Fuels

What is coal used for? USGS
Coal used for steel making needs to be high in carbon content and low in moisture, ash, sulfur, and phosphorous content Coal that meets these specifications is known as metallurgical coal Coal also has a myriad of other uses, including in cement production, carbon fibers and foams, medicines, tars, synthetic petroleumbased fuels, and home In 2013, an estimated 12 billion metric tons of coal were used by the steel industry China is the world's largest producer and consumer of coking coal, accounting for about 527 million metric tons in 2013 Australia and the United States follow, producing What You Should Know About Metallurgical CoalGlobal steel production is dependent on coal and more and more the world is turning to Canada for its supply of quality steelmaking coal For example, to meet its rapid infrastructure growth and consumer demand for things such as vehicles and home appliances, Asia has turned to Canada for its highquality steelmaking coalCoal Production Stats
