Prof. Dr. Frank Pothen, Professor of Economics at the EAH Jena, analyzes the availability of steel scrap as a raw material, among other things to conserve existing resources. His market model incorporates the effect of climate and trade policy.
Goals
The use of scrap in steel production reduces greenhouse gas emissions and conserves natural resources. The transformation of the steel industry to climate neutrality will further increase demand for scrap. However, its availability is limited by technological and economic factors. The "Techno-Economic Analysis of Steel Recycling" (TEASR) project is investigating the future of scrap availability in Europe. To this end, a market model links technological framework conditions with economic determinants of steel scrap use and prices. It quantifies the effects of climate and trade policies on the use of and international trade in steel scrap. The project marks the start of a research group at the EAH Jena that aims to model the European steel sector techno-economically and provide scientific support for its transformation.
