PRODUCTION PROCESS >

Introduction

At Celsa UK, we produce steel via the electric arc furnace (EAF) route; making new steel products by recycling scrap metal. The EAF process uses 100% recovered ferrous scrap metal as the primary raw material, which is melted down in the furnace using an electric current to make molten steel from which new steel products can be manufactured. The EAF process is more flexible, produces around a sixth of the CO2 emissions, with steel manufactured this way containing about a third of the embodied energy when compared with other, more traditional steelmaking methods.
