our company, global steel company, entered the top three in the annual ranking of the Top 20 energy efficiency companies, which is the rating Agency Expert RA on the basis of indicators of the 600 largest enterprises of Russia.
"iron industry is energy intensive industry, energy costs in the cost of production of integrated companies account for 10-12%, so we systematically increase the energy efficiency of our assets. We not only made the process of metal production is less energy intensive, but use of secondary energy resources, including associated metallurgical gases to generate heat and electricity. Implementation of best practices in energy optimization, cost reduction and efficient use of resources improves the efficiency of the entire production chain," commented Vice-President for power engineering of NLMK Sergey Chebotarev.

For the period since 2000, NLMK has allocated to implementation of several dozen major projects to improve energy efficiency more than 25 billion rubles. Such projects, in particular, allowed the efficient use of secondary fuel gases to generate its own electricity and share the use of secondary fuels is now 82%.
the Optimisation of repairs of turbine generators and the improved performance of the cooling equipment allowed to increase the share of electricity in the structure balance the Lipetsk site from 30% in 2000 to 58% in 2018, with production of its own electricity from secondary gases has increased by almost 2.5 times – up to 357 MW.
currently in Lipetsk, a project for the construction of the new recovery co-generation plant, the main fuel for which will be associated gas of steelmaking. This will allow the company to increase the efficiency of use of secondary resources, to reduce the level of impact on the environment, reduce energy costs and raise the security of energy self-sufficient at the Lipetsk site to 95%.
