Steel is used in many different products that support people’s lives ranging from automobiles, bullet trains, houses, and daily necessities to PCs, smartphones, aircraft, and even spacecraft, and the steel industry serves as the foundation for all sorts of industries.
01Previous efforts to reduce CO2 in production processes and issues we are currently facing are explained here.
02various technological issues to be addressed for realizing steelmaking using hydrogen. We will also address these issues.
03In this project, we will study measures to realize carbon-neutral steelmaking that takes advantage not only of the characteristics of blast furnaces but also CCUS technology.
04In this project, we will study measures to realize direct reduction ironmaking using hydrogen in a shaft furnace.
05In this project, we will work to develop a technology for manufacturing high-grade steel by melting reduced iron manufactured by a direct reduction process.
This project is receiving cooperation from companies, universities, and other research institutes in Japan. We will bring together the wisdom of those concerned and work on challenging issues.
01Nippon Steel Corporation, JFE Steel Corporation, Kobe Steel, Ltd., and the Japan Research and Development Center for Metals formed a consortium and have been working on this project.
02This project is carried out according to the METI’s R&D and social implementation plan regarding the Green Innovation Fund Project entitled “Hydrogen Utilization in Iron and Steelmaking Processes.”
We are taking on the challenge of developing innovative technologies with the aim of realizing carbon-neutral processes in the steel industry.
