As per CISA the details of energy consumption by domestic big sized steel enterprises during January to September 2007 are as under

4. The recycle rate of industrial water was as high as 95.95% up by 0.83%YoY.
He said the "Per unit energy cost has decreased and the growth rate of total energy cost in steel production is 6.41% points lower than the growth rate of crude steel output in the same period."
He added that "However, total energy cost in iron and steel industry still takes over 14% in total energy cost in China and the mission is still important and difficult in future."
