Coal use for iron and steel production in low-carbon transition scenarios

The role of coal in iron and steel metallurgy is analyzed through the routes for steel manufacturing, current levels of steel production, and forecasts for the future. Coal as an essential raw material in different metallurgical processes is discussed, emphasizing the functions of metallurgical coke in ironmaking via the blast furnace. The potential of biomass as an additive in cokemaking and as an injectant in a blast furnace to mitigate fossil CO2 emissions is also addressed.
