Technology Burns Tires to Make Steel

Bloomberg: OneSteel Ltd., Australia’s second- largest steelmaker, is in talks with U.S. mills to sell its technology that burns automotive tires to make steel.



The technology has cut OneSteel’s coal use by 10 percent and energy costs by 3 percent, said Leo Selleck, OneSteel’s executive general manager of technology, safety and services. OneSteel is using the mix of tires and coking coal to make two- thirds of its steel, he said.
