Current Status of the Japanese Steel Industry
Previous efforts to reduce CO2 in production processes and issues we are currently facing are explained here.
-
01 -
02Tackling CO2 Reduction in the Steel Industry
various technological issues to be addressed for realizing steelmaking using hydrogen. We will also address these issues.
-
03Technology to reduce CO2 emissions from blast furnaces
In 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.
-
04Technology for direct reduction of iron ore using hydrogen
In this project, we will study measures to realize direct reduction ironmaking using hydrogen in a shaft furnace.
-
05Technology to efficiently produce high-grade steel in an electric furnace
In this project, we will work to develop a technology for manufacturing high-grade steel by melting reduced iron manufactured by a direct reduction process.
