Decarbonisation & Energy Efficiency
FAQs on decarbonisation & energy efficiency
Decarbonisation describes the further development of industrial production processes with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This includes technical, energy-related and organisational measures.
Many processes in the metals industry require energy. Efficient use helps companies to manage production processes more effectively and utilise resources responsibly.
Relevant solution areas include energy-efficient plant, digital process control, automation, energy management, heat recovery, waste heat utilisation, recycling and the circular economy.
The ‘Hot Topic’ of decarbonisation and energy efficiency ranges from energy-efficient smelting and casting processes, through the decarbonisation of metal and steel production, to optimised thermal processes and resource-efficient castings.
