The invention relates to a method and device for producing liquid steel (1), wherein the inventive method consists in melting metal materials (2) in an independent melting vessel (3) by means of fossil energy sources (4), in processing a molten material (5) in an overheating vessel (6), in tapping said molten material and transporting it to another treating vessel (7) and in analysing the steel quality. The inventive method makes it possible to economically consume energy and involves the following stages: preheating/melting, overheating, transport and a secondary metallurgical/overheating processing.
