Energy consumption intensity in China steel supply chain
Seyed Hamed Moosavirad1, Mohammadreza Haidary2.
Nowadays, energy plays as a critical role in the industrial world. One of the main industries that consume a huge amount of energy is steel industry. As a result, steel industrial managers need to measure the energy consumption in steel supply chain before controlling energy usage. So, the objective of this paper is to investigate the energy of the steel industry in China at the macroeconomic level. The World Input Output Databases have been applied for gathering the requirement data. Mining industry, Water, Gas and Electricity suppliers industry and Machining industry are found as the main Chinese suppliers of China steel industry. Then, by forming the supply chain of the steel industry, the suppliers’ energy consumption is compared with each other. It is concluded that in a two echelon supply chain of China steel industry, almost a quarter of the total energy consumption is related to the suppliers and the remaining belongs to steel industry itself. The relationship between the suppliers will be considered in future research to be compared with the results of this paper.
