The European steel industry is experiencing new challenges related to the market situation and climate policy. Experience from period of pandemic restrictions effects Russia’s armed invasion Ukraine has given many countries a basis for including along with raw materials (coke, iron ore, electricity) in economic security products (CRMA). Steel needed infrastructure construction development as well material other industries (without steel, factories will not produce cars, machinery, ships, washing machines, etc.). In 2022, steelmakers faced deepening energy crisis slowdown. prompted impose on production volumes (worldwide fell by 4% compared previous year). Despite difficult (production EU 11% 2022 year), strengthening its industrial decarbonisation policy (“Fit 55”). set accelerate 2050. To sharply reduce carbon emissions, mills need steelmaking technologies. largest global, are already investing technologies that use green hydrogen (produced renewable sources). Reducing ore plasma drastically CO2 emissions (steel using could emit up 95% less than current BF + BOF blast furnace basic oxygen integrated method). Investments must be tailored industry. A net zero strategy (deep goal) may have different scenarios countries. purpose this paper was introduce conditions low-carbon Polish develop (based expert opinion)

Energy Behaviors of Prosumers in Example of Polish Households

Energies, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 16(7), С. 3186 - 3186

Опубликована: Март 31, 2023

This paper explores ways to save energy in households with prosumers who generate using photovoltaic panels and heat pumps. On the basis of a literature analysis, we formulated research gap case behaviors prosumers. is important due growing demand for transitions countries toward renewable sources. The role economy as they ensure independence cost savings. main purpose this understand examine differences between users systems A sample 326 Polish prosumer was selected CAWI method order obtain empirical data. results suggest that show advanced ecological behaviors, more than half respondents implement pro-ecological their homes. Being associated independence, which leads economic stability less dependence on traditional indicate general inclination behavior. Thus, study recommends promoting encouraging use priority economy. initiative will contribute reduction consumption various areas, thus raising awareness sense responsibility environment.

Energies, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 16(2), С. 787 - 787

Опубликована: Янв. 10, 2023

The publication presents heat and electricity management in the Polish steel industry. paper is based on actual data consumption intensity by processes industry Poland Industry 4.0 conditions. Two production are used Poland: EAF Electric Arc Furnace BOF Basic Oxygen Furnace. analysis an of to characterise shows that technology always more intensive intensive. On basis conducted analysis, it can be concluded pro-environmental innovations should first aim reduce BOF. An for period 2004–2020 both cases occurred. study technologies has been steadily decreasing since 2010, throughout under review. It from this adapting requirements and, through introduction technological innovations, moving towards concept sustainable according green principles. decrease energy (means electricity) produced important issue, as high affects overall Poland. In future, use new innovative solutions, including solutions principles, help further level consumption. driving force behind investment boom market. authors made a short-term forecasts (2022–2025). annual determined analyses were determine up 2025.
