Ngomhla we-7 kaDisemba, iBritish Iron and Steel Association ibonise kwingxelo yokuba amaxabiso ombane aphezulu kunamanye amazwe aseYurophu aya kuba nefuthe elibi kwinguqu ephantsi yekhabhoni ye-British steel industry.Ngoko ke, umbutho wacela urhulumente waseBritane ukuba acuthe iindleko zakhe zombane.
Ingxelo yachaza ukuba abavelisi bentsimbi baseBrithani kufuneka bahlawule i-61% ngaphezulu kweebhilikhwe zombane kunabalingane babo baseJamani, kunye ne-51% yeebhilidi zombane ngaphezu kwe-French counterparts.
"Kunyaka ophelileyo, umsantsa werhafu yombane phakathi kwe-UK kunye neYurophu iphela uphantse waphinda kabini."utshilo uGareth Stace, umlawuli jikelele weBritish Iron and Steel Institute.Ishishini lentsimbi aliyi kukwazi ukutyala imali eninzi kwizixhobo ezitsha zombane, kwaye kuya kuba nzima ukufikelela kwinguqu enekhabhoni ephantsi.
Kuxelwa ukuba i-furnace yamalahle e-UK iguqulwa ibe yi-hydrogen steelmaking izixhobo, ukusetyenziswa kombane kuya kwanda nge-250%;ukuba iguqulwa ibe zixhobo zombane ze-arc steelmaking, ukusetyenziswa kombane kuya kunyuka nge-150%.Ngokwamaxabiso ombane akhoyo e-UK, ukusebenza kwishishini le-hydrogen steelmaking kwilizwe kuya kuxabisa malunga ne-300 yezigidi zeepounds / ngonyaka (malunga ne-US $ 398 yezigidi / ngonyaka) ngaphezu kokusebenza kwishishini le-hydrogen steelmaking eJamani.
