trical energy requirements. Use of hot, highcarbon DRI results in a saving of 37 kWh/ton of liquid steel per 1% of carbon in the DRI, and another 26 kWh/ton for every 100°C increase in the DRI feed temperature. When using hot high Carbon DRI, the EAF power consumption can be below 370 kWh/ton for an operation based on 100% DRI. This low pow
