Major stages of development of metallurgical production of steel in the XX century are considered and geopolitical factors, defining its progress, are formulated. A determinant role of energy consumption in aggloblast furnace production is shown in the energy balance of the integrated works. Alternative processes of steel production are described. The significant decrease in energy consumption can be attained in combination of several technologies. Steel melting and generation of commercial heat and electric energy using the technology of plasma-electrometallurgical complex are challenging. The ways of metallurgy progress in the XXI century are outlined.
Keywords: world industry, metallurgical production, energy (power) consumption, ecology, combination of technologies, plasma and electrometallurgical complexes, prospects
