EVRAZ Canadian Steel:

Low Carbon Footprint

Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs) with metal scrap: cleaner, more efficient

• EVRAZ Regina utilizes two Electricity

EAFs to make up to 1.1 Steelmaking
Generation
million tons of steel per CO2 emissions Energy used CO2 emissions

-79%
• Over 91% of steelmaking -64% -81%
in China is from Blast 2,081
4,624 764
Oxygen Furnaces (BOFs),
which use iron ore, coking
coal, and other inputs

• For every one ton of steel

scrap made into new steel,
over 1,400kg of iron ore, 1,647
740kg of coal, and 120kg 441 147
of limestone are saved
