From: Long-term transformation in China’s steel sector for carbon capture and storage technology deployment

Fig. 2

a–c The steel outputs by production mode under the high, moderate, and low steel output scenarios. The colors represent steel outputs from different production modes. d–f The carbon emissions of China’s steel sector under the three scenarios. The yellow color represents the emissions of the sector and the others represent the carbon mitigation potential by measure. BF blast furnace, BOF basic oxygen furnace, CCS carbon capture and storage, DRI direct reduced iron, EAF electric arc furnace, EETs energy-efficient technologies.
