“…Direct reduction processes convert iron ore in various forms into sponge iron at tempera tures much below the melting point, using a variety of reductants other than metallurgical coke. Other promising advanced processes that attempt to integrate now separate operations to save on capital, labor, and energy costs include continuous casting, direct steel-making, and dry steel-making (64).…”

It is generally believed that, at the present rate of consumption, the world's remaining oil resources that can be ultimately recovered amount to less than a 100-year supply. Two , thirds of these resources are located in the Middle East and North Africa and in countries with centrally planned economies ; the amount left in the rest of the world is about a 40-year supply. These numbers indicate the ephemeral nature of the present oil glut and highlight the need to begin a global transition away from oil.The half of the world's people who are dispersed in rural areas of developing countries use little oil, but they are also caught up in an energy crisis. These people depend heavily on biomass-mainly fuelwood used for cooking. A fuelwood crisis has arisen because in many areas increased fuelwood demand associated with population growth is exceeding the rate 613

“…The dry steel-making process, which yields a final product in powder form (and avoids melting), holds the promise of very low capital costs and suitability for small-scale operations, as well as major energy savings compared to conventional processes (64).…”

Energy use in industry, in particular manufacturing, is reviewed. Materials manufacture dominates. Natural gas and electricity are the main energy forms, with coal and oil now almost specialty fuels. Declining energy use per ton of production has characterized materials manufacture, especially since 1972. An in-depth examination of trends and future possibilities in energy use per ton of product is made for the steel industry. Energy use in 1983 is analyzed by stage of production and for the integrated and secondary sectors. Ongoing reductions in energy use by means of technical improvements are discussed for iron making, steel making and shaping-treating. A conservation plan is presented for an integrated mill, which could reduce energy use by 20% and total costs by $12 per ton of mill product. Finally, expectations for changes in steel industry energy intensity in the medium term are very briefly discussed.
