Preface
World steel demand and production is continuously growing. Being a high energyintensive and high-impact industry, the energy consumption and the greenhouse gases emissions are destined to double by 2050 if the actual processing routes are completely preserved. To avoid this, new paradigms must be developed and approached in order to transform the sector, making it sustainable in the future and compatible with the global warming reduction. By introducing and optimizing energy-efficient solutions to the actual route, only a maximum of 25% of global saving is expected; this target is insufficient for the goals, leading to global warming control and reduction. So, based on current climate change forecast, it is predicted that the steel industry will face greater challenges which cannot be solved with the past incremental technologies in the future. US and European reports underline that if the global warming should be avoided, the only way is to develop and apply breakthrough technologies very fast. The book describes the main available technologies employed in the traditional or innovative routes capable of reducing the energy consumption and the dangerous
