Energy efficiency and emissions reductions in the steel industry
Indicators are needed to monitor energy efficiency improvements and greenhouse gas emissions in the iron and steel industry. Traditional indicators do not reflect the structural organisation of the sector and can be misleading. This project investigates how indicators for the steel industry can be improved to capture the achievements of Swedish industries.
