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.
