In the modern realities of steelmaking in Ukraine, the price policy for liquid iron and scrap metal, which are dynamically changing, forces steel producers to constantly change the technological mode of converter melting. In the workshops that operate and have operated, at one time, to one degree or another, they underwent industrial inspection and the implementation of technology aimed at reducing the consumption of cast iron. The technologies implemented at enterprises, which allow to reduce the consumption of liquid iron by 45-50 kg per one ton of steel, raise the issue of the amount of energy consumption accompanying these processes. Analysis of methods aimed at further increasing the share of scrap in converter production allows us to draw conclusions about the prospects of using the least energy-consuming of them in the steel industry of Ukraine.
