Which outcome reduces the required furnace energy during steelmaking?

💡 Explanation

A catalyst lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, therefore less thermal energy input is needed in the furnace atmosphere, rather than altering parameters like pressure or volume influencing reaction rates.
