    Abstract:

    Ferroalloys production is an energy-intensive industrial sector with significant CO2 emissions. It has a firm client-principal relationship to iron and steel production but also close similarities in production technologies. Thus examination of these processes together and their comparison is mostly well-founded. In this paper the current situation in ferroalloys processes is discussed from the standpoint of global environmental issues, trends and development. Progress and data of ferroalloys production are compared with steel industry, the main user of ferroalloys. Emission factors of processes and electricity production are examined as well as possibilities and future scenarios how to diminish CO2 emissions.

    Keywords:

    steel, ferroalloys, production, energy, reduction of CO2 emission
