Circular Steel Production

Circular Steel Production, 1st Edition, is an academic reference volume dedicated to analyzing low-carbon transition pathways in industrial steel manufacturing. Authored by Sandra Kiessling, Hamidreza Gohari Darabkhani, and Abdel-Hamid Soliman, the book provides materials scientists, metallurgists, environmental chemists, engineers, and researchers with structured models for heavy industry decarbonization.

The text introduces the Bio Steel Cycle model to systematically organize technical research directions across carbon avoidance, carbon utilization, and carbon sequestration. The authors clarify circular resource management within steel production by providing concise technical summaries of approximately 50 distinct methods. Additionally, the book covers the operational integration of anaerobic digestion, municipal sewage treatment facilities, geothermal energy units, and specialized carbon capture mechanisms into primary manufacturing plants.

A key element of the text is its structured adoption timeline for implementing the Bio Steel Cycle framework across political, financial investment, and industrial infrastructure sectors. This reference assists engineering students and industry professionals in evaluating long-term operational shifts toward low-carbon metal production.
