Technique
Applicability
a
Use of a steam boiler and turbines to recover the energy content of the exhaust gas and produce electricity
Applicability may be restricted depending on energy prices and the energy policy of the Member State
b
Direct use of the exhaust gas as fuel within the process (e.g. for drying raw materials, preheating charging materials, sintering, heating of ladles)
Only applicable if a demand for process heat exists
c
Use of the exhaust gas as fuel in neighbouring plants
Only applicable if an economically viable demand for this type of fuel exists
