I. INTRODUCTION
Global climate change caused by green house gases has
aroused wide concern in international society. According to
International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, there
are four principle greenhouse gases result from human
activities i.e. carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and the
halocarbons. Among these gases, CO2 makes the largest
contribution to global warning [1]. Since the iron and steel
industry is energy intensive, CO2 plays the most important
role among these green house gases. The iron and steel
industry is emitting about 650 million tons CO2 per year as
the fourth biggest industry using fossil fuels [2]. The amount
of CO2 emissions from iron and steel industry accounts for a
great share of the total CO2 emissions from industry [3]. Thus,
reducing CO2 emissions in iron and steel industry is urgent for
environmental protection and sustainable development.
Some previous investigations handled the CO2 emission
reduction. Christer Ryman et al [4] studied reduction of CO2
emissions from integrated steelmaking by optimized scrap
strategies. An important aspect of the demonstrated
calculations is that high scrap additions to an integrated
system does not always act as a linear CO2 diluent. It is
important to optimize and balance the different processes in
the considered system to ensure a global optimal solution.
Hisarna technology could reduce CO2 emissions from
blast furnace steelmaking by more than 50 percent [5]. The 20
