Emissions reduction potential is estimated to be 30.2 Kg CO₂/t-rolled steel. 

Retrofit capital costs and savings are estimated as $23.5/t-rolled steel and $1.15/t-hot charged steel with payback times of 5.9 years (US EPA, 2010. p.27).

 In a Japanese plant total retrofiting costs were ¥250 million. With a heavy oil price of ¥433/GJ, the payback time was 2 years. 

A system installed at the UK based strip mill reduced energy demand of the cold rolling mill by approximately 15-20% (Worrell et al., 2010. p. 104) or approximately by 0.22 GJ/t-product (US EPA, 2010. p. 30).

 Emission reductions are estimated to be 35.3 kg CO₂/t-product.

Installation costs were estimated to be $1.72/t-product, or $1.0/t-crude steel. The payback time is estimated as 0.8 years.

In a Japanese plant installation of this system reduced fuel consumption by 33%. >
Considerable differences in fuel consumption exist between different types of cooling equipment used in continuous annealing: the suction cooling roll uses only 14 percent of the power used by a gas jet system.  (US EPA, 2010. p.30)

 Installation of a facility with a capacity 450,000 t/yhas an estimated cost of $225 million.(US EPA, 2010. p.30)

Energy savings of 0.0 GJ/t-rolled steel is estimated by the implementation of the technology, with an increase of 0.17 kWh/t in electricity consumption (Worrell et al., 2010. p. 104).

Emission reductions are estimated at 1.9 kg CO₂/t-rolled steel (US EPA, 2010. p.10).

Retrofit Capital Cost is $1.3/t-rolled steel. Operation and maintenance costs can increase by $0.11/t-product (US EPA, 2010. p. 29). 

Specific energy consumption decreases by 40 – 60% as compared to a traditional rolling mill.

Environmental emissions will drastically decrease due to reduced energy consumption by avoiding reheat furnaces.

Energy savings can range from 35% to close to 100%.  

CO₂ emissions are reduced due to reduced fuel consumption. 

The savings over traditional thick slab continuous casting include 0.32-0.55 GJ/t for electricity and 1.2-1.5 GJ/t for fuel (US EPA, 2010. p.25). 

By reducing the oxygen content by 1.5 % in a heating furnace with a throughput of 450 t/h, energy consumption was reduced by 2.4 %.

For a 450 t/h capacity furnace, cost savings due to reduced energy consumption were €350 thousand/y.
The technology also reduced scale formation by 20% and this resulted in financial savings of €1.1 million/y.
