The steel manufacturing plants in Bangladesh are less polluting and the lowest carbon emitters compared to the largest producers globally, mainly for the melting process followed locally and the efficient consumption of energy and water, said a top industrialist.
The process that Bangladeshi steel makers are following in producing steel is melting scrap, which is part of recycling, said Aameir Alihussain, managing director of BSRM, the country's leading steel maker, an interview with The Daily Star recently.
"We are among the lowest carbon emitter since our steel-making process is reusing scrap. The most polluting and carbon-emitting steel producing industries are those that use iron ore, coal or others to produce steel."
Local steel manufacturers are also consuming energy and water in an efficient manner and there is no noteworthy wastage in the industry, he opined.
He, however, admitted that there are some gas wastage by the second and third-tier players in the sector and they need to make improvements and invest in technologies for the efficient use of gas. Read More...
