Compared with conventional oxyfuel, flameless oxyfuel provides even higher production rates, excellent temperature uniformity and very low NOx emissions. Since its commercial introduction in 2003, the leading supplier has made more than 30 installations of the flameless oxyfuel technology. This chapter describes the state-of-the-art oxygen technologies, including results from installations in the steel industry, and discusses their future possibilities to make steel production more effective.

Research summary of current situation in Chinese steel industry

Case studies of four energy-intensive industries--aluminum, cement, iron and steel and paper--show how the changes have put these industries on substantially lower carbon dioxide emissions trajectories. Although the changes have not led to absolute declines in carbon dioxide emissions, they have substantially weakened the link between industry growth and carbon dioxide emissions.

A significant share of China’s greenhouse gas emitting activities is operated by state owned enterprises (SOEs) in power generation and steel production. The report demonstrates that SOEs have played a significant role in mitigation actions in these two sectors. As a wider mitigation-relevant task, the state-owned enterprises have led the modernisation of the steel industry to enable better-quality products aiming at supporting the development of new high-tech sectors, like renewable energy.

The development objective of the Baotou Iron and Steel Energy Efficiency Project for China is to mitigate global environmental impacts of carbon dioxide (C02) emissions through purchase of C02 emissions avoided by the operation of the Baotou Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd (BISCO) Coke dry quenching (CDQ) project under the clean development mechanism (CDM). The project was approved as a CDM project by National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) in 2007. It consists of three sets of CDQ heat recovery boilers (No. 1, 2, 3) and steam turbine generators at the back of six coke ovens (No.
