Green Fact Quiz – EAFs

Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs) have a lower GWP compared to Basic Oxygen Furnaces (BOFs) because they are more energy-efficient and generate less carbon dioxide emissions per ton of steel produced. The use of scrap (recycled) steel as the main raw material in EAFs also reduces the need for the extraction, transportation, and processing of new raw materials, which can have a significant impact on the GWP.
