EVRAZ Canadian Steel:
Low Carbon Footprint
November 2016
Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs) with metal scrap: cleaner, more efficient
• EVRAZ Regina utilizes two
EAFs to make up to 1.1
million tons of steel per
year
• Over 91% of steelmaking
in China is from Blast
Oxygen Furnaces (BOFs),
which use iron ore, coking
coal, and other inputs

• For every one ton of steel
scrap made into new steel,
over 1,400kg of iron ore,
740kg of coal, and 120kg
of limestone are saved
