Primary production of steel typically uses a blast furnace to produce molten iron from iron ore, coking coal, and limestone. The molten iron is then converted into steel by a basic oxygen furnace (BOF). The DRI process converts iron ore to iron using less energy and with a lower capital cost than the blast furnace process.
