Ferroalloys production is an energy-intensive industrial sector. In this paper, the current situation in ferroalloys processes is discussed from the standpoint of energy consumption and energy conservation issues, trends and development. Progress and data of ferroalloys production are frequently compared with steel industry which is a closely related sector and the main user of ferroalloys. Operational factors of processes and electricity consumption are examined as well as possibilities and future scenarios to minimize energy consumption have been deliberated in this paper.
