Projections of the expected shift in scrap melting, reduction smelting and other reduction techniques for oxide and steel, respectively, as a function of higher steel scrap use.399 One should note the assumed huge (yet realistic) future market demand scenario for steels. This analysis makes again clear that research in the field of sustainable metallurgy can potentially have a particularly high leverage when it comes to steel production, simply due to the huge amounts of metal produced.
