Part of Mustafapour's comment states: Today the steel industry faces different conditions from the period of its formation and development. Sustainability of energy supply, resource efficiency, access to new technologies, economic competitiveness, environmental requirements and developments in the global market are no longer marginal issues; Instead, they are considered crucial elements in the continuity of production and value creation. Therefore, alongside important indicators of production growth, attention should be paid to indicators such as capacity utilization rate, energy consumption intensity, production reliability, added value and capital efficiency. Today's necessity is to move from a general understanding of the issues to a detailed understanding of the causes and the design of specific, measurable and applicable solutions.
