The need for energy management in the steel industry
In today’s industrial world, energy management plays a crucial role, especially in energy-intensive sectors like the steel industry. This industry produces over 1.6 billion tonnes of steel worldwide each year, a process that demands high energy requirements. High production standards combined with an increasing focus on sustainability and energy efficiency require innovative and efficient solutions for energy procurement and use.
The power-intensive nature of the steel industry: Overcoming challenges
The steel industry is known for its high energy demand, accounting for about 6-7% of global energy consumption. This power-intensive nature poses a significant challenge for all stakeholders. High costs are commonplace, as are substantial environmental impacts.
Efficient and sustainable energy management is therefore particularly crucial here. We at ifesca have recognised this need and offer intelligent solutions with our products for those industrial companies wanting to future-proof their internal processes.
