System and a method for producing green steel with near zero ghg emissions intensity

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and a system for producing green steel. The method includes the scrap which is obtained from one or more sources of scrap. The obtained scrap and ferroalloys are charged into an induction furnace and melted in an inert environment to obtain molten steel. The inert gases are introduced into the induction furnace to prevent oxidation of the scrap and different types of scrap alloys and ferroalloys during melting. The molten steel is transferred from the induction furnace either directly to a casting area or to a refining unit to refine the molten steel. The refined steel transferred to a vacuum-degassing unit to degas the refined steel. Finally, the vacuum-degassed steel is transferred to a casting area to produce the green steel.
