Conference ·
OSTI ID:5879021

The Report of the First Consultation Meeting held in Vienna from 7 to 11 February 1977 recommended that the UNIDO Secretariat should examine the following topics so that it could make specific proposals to the next consultation meeting concerning ways of promoting international co-operation to ensure the availability of the raw materials and fuels needed for the expansion of the iron and steel industry: a review of known reserves of coking coal and the identification of probable resources; a review of the plans and progress made in developed and developing countries to increase the production of those raw materials and consideration of whether appropriate measures were being taken to ensure an adequate supply of them; and a survey of the alternative techniques including sponge iron that might be used to replace coking coal by other fuels and reductants, including processes for the gasification of coal, and the use of formed coke or charcoal, taking into account the returns from alternative uses of those raw materials. Information on these topics is presented. (LTN)
