The Technical Analysis of Energy Saving and Emission Reducing in China’s Iron and Steel Industry Based on LEAP Mode

Abstract:

To assess some technologies which are more appropriate for the development of the iron and steel industry in China, a model was developed based on the Long range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP) to assess the energy saving and CO2 reduction potentials from 2010 to 2040. The results show that the top three saving energy potentials is non-blast furnace iron-making accounted for 6.85%, device enlargement for 5.85%, advanced blast furnace for 4.84%, and also show that the top three CO2 reduction potentials is device enlargement accounted for 11.7%, non-blast furnace iron-making for 6.21%, advanced coke and blast furnace 5.52%. In the Mitigation scenario, it can reduce 28% of the initial energy demand and 35.2% of CO2 emissions. It can provide a method and data for search energy saving and CO2 reduction potentials in iron and steel industry by LEAP model.
