Energy Use in the U.S. Steel Industry: : A Historical Perspective and Future Opportunities (PDF 432 KB)
Renowned industry expert Dr. John Stubbles has projected the energy savings that the U.S. steel industry could reasonably expect to achieve over the next 10 years. These projections are the subject of a new report from ITP's steel team, Energy Use in the U.S. Steel Industry: An Historical Perspective and Future Opportunities. The report examines the potential impacts of state-of-the-art technologies and operating practices, as well as structural changes in the industry itself.

Steel Industry of the Future Tools & Publications
The Department of Energy's Industrial Technologies Program offers a wide array of publications, videos, software, and other information products for improving energy efficiency in the iron and steel industry.
