Neither the documentation nor the table provide any information about how much coal is minimum necessary. |

Ok, thanks. :) My only quarrel is that coal != coke != met coal. They serve different purposes and have different properties, thus cannot be directly substituted. Then it is RTM at your convinience. |
Coal demand for steel production via basic oxygen blast furnace was
1.43 MWh_coal/t_steel. This assumption based on mpp steel tracker documentation is too low.Specific Emissions Accounting
Using an emissivity of coal of
0.3361 t_CO2/MWh_coal(following technology-data) would lead to0.48 t_CO2/t_steel.Which contradicts e.g this source (p.2)
Comparing the primary steel production (35.4 Mt_steel) with the emissions of 51 Mt_CO2 (https://www.wvstahl.de/wp-content/uploads/WV-Stahl_Daten-und-Fakten-2024_RZ-Web.pdf) for Germany would also indicate a higher demand for coal.
Changes proposed in this Pull Request
Using the data from the mpp steel tracker for
BAT BF-BOFI come up with a coal demand of5.34 MWh_coal/t_steel.Checklist
