Energy Efficiency in Steel Sector: A Comprehensive Review of Best Available Technologies.
03 Mar 2026
Building on TERI’s long-standing work on industrial decarbonisation and resource efficiency, this publication evaluates the potential of (BATs) to enhance plant-level performance—highlighting how wider adoption could, in aggregate, enable up to a twofold improvement in energy efficiency across major production routes.
The report assesses capital costs, payback periods, and quantified energy savings for BAT options across BF–BOF, DRI–EAF/IF, and downstream processing routes.
