The employed fuels are natural gas and/or coal. The energy consumption is in the order of 10.4 GJ/t-DRI that is equivalent to 300 m 3 of natural gas per ton of reduced iron. The CO 2 emissions are quantified in the range 0.77–0.92 t of CO 2 per ton of steel. As a function of the employed reducing reactors, the systems are of four main types:
Due to the export restrictions of laterite ores from Indonesia and the high cost of raw materials transportation, the ferronickel production enterprises began to build production lines in the origin of laterite ores in recent years. ...

The final stage in iron ore processing is ironmaking, where the iron ore is transformed into molten iron through a process called reduction. The most common method of ironmaking is the blast furnace route. In a blast furnace, iron ore, coke (carbon), and fluxes (limestone or dolomite) are loaded into the furnace from the top.
