Induction Heating – A Contribution on the Way to CO2 Neutrality in Rolling Mills

The steel industry is the second-largest industrial emitter of CO2 emissions worldwide. One alternative solution for CO2 reduction is induction for heating processes while using green energy. The process is dynamic, easily controllable and, if green energy is used, almost CO2-neutral. Due to the direct energy input into the material, induction heating is a good complementary extension of existing gas furnaces for reheating. The induction furnace can be positioned complementarily upstream or downstream in the process. Both variants enable a reduction of the gas consumption and will lead to a measurable CO2 reduction in the reheating process.
