2019 Greenhouse Gas Effects of the Energy Efficiency Projects

The integrated iron and steel plants produce a large part of their electrical needs (50-80%) with natural gas as well as process gases from the coke factory, blast furnace and steel mill processes. Electricity generation takes place in both steam boilers and gas turbines. A portion of the 45 bar steam produced in the steam boilers is reduced to 15 bar and charged to the units at the rate of the process. There are 5 projects for 15 bar steam production from waste heat boiler, two investment projects for reduction of electricity consumption, and one project of electricity production from top pressure recovery turbine (TRT), which are realized between the years of 2012 and 2017. In this study, the effects of these projects on greenhouse gas emissions of energy production processes were investigated. In 2017, CO2 emissions were reduced by 15.41% due to 15 bar steam production from 4 waste heat boilers. With the TRT project, the CO2 emissions from the total electricity consumed decreased by 3.43% in 2017. The emission gains from electricity reduction projects have been realized as 22.5% for sintering plant and 31% for the rolling plant.
