    New developments in converter technology
    Plenary Talk

    The iron and steel industry is one of the largest industrial CO2 emitters and a transition to greener and more sustainable production routes is inevitable. The green transition will bring a number of new processes to our industry requiring optimization to ensure that the best production process is used for the targeted steel and product quality. Oxygen steelmaking will play a crucial role in...

    Energy savings and energy efficiency optimization
    Plenary Talk

    voestalpine as the quality steel producer in Europe has developed a stepwise transition to a CO2-reduced steel production. Already now voestalpine is able to produce steel with lower CO2 emissions. In 2027 two EAF’s will start operation. With it’s stepwise transition and hybrid-steel production, voestalpine will keep the quality on the same level as now.

    CO2 mitigation in iron and steelmaking
    Plenary Talk

    The transition to green steelmaking processes demands a deeper understanding of the kinetics governing oxygen steelmaking. This work highlights recent advancements in both experimental studies and modelingefforts aimed at unraveling the complex reactions that occur during the process. Key developments in kinetic investigations, including droplet refining rate measurements and dynamic process...
