A CO2-Management Tool for Integrated Steelworks

The present paper describes an holistic CO₂-monitoring system for an integrated steel-making plant. Firstly, the implementation of a centralised Database in the steelwork, supported by a dedicated server, was required as a preparatory step to collect data with regard to the main energy and Carbon containing flows. The implementation of a CO₂-monitoring system was necessary in order to measure and account the emissions. The holistic model, validated with real operating data, should be able to monitor and to control the CO₂ outlet and is a valid tool to reduce such emissions through the management and optimization of the relevant flows.
