Abstract:
The linear production model in force since the Industrial Revolution has contributed significantly to environmental degradation and climate change. This production model is based on the linearity of extraction, production and waste disposal. The steel industry is responsible for a significant part of greenhouse gas emissions – GHG [1] and for the deterioration of the environment. This article proposes a model aimed at mitigating the impacts caused by the steel industry. Biomass residue from agriculture has stood out as a renewable energy source and a promising alternative for the sector. Thus, sugarcane bagasse, green corn straw and soy residue appear as important tools for mitigating impacts in this sector. This article proposes to develop an analysis of three distinct productions in the steel industry, namely: the production of steel via Blast Furnace [2], fueled energetically by the biomass of sugarcane bagasse; the production of coke, fueled energetically by soybean residue [3] and the reprocessing of steel through the Electric Arc Furnace (FEA) [4] fueled energetically by the biomass of green corn straw. The research findings suggest that the use of biomass as a renewable energy source and the reprocessing of steel through the FEA contribute significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere, in addition to promoting the optimization of the use of resources and the reduction of stress environmental. Collaboration between the industrial and agricultural sectors is crucial for the proliferation of the use of biomass waste, also promoting the proper disposal of waste and generating economic and environmental benefits.
