TECHNOLOGY

Steel industry plays
a fundamental role in all industries.

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.

Technology

01

Current Status of the Japanese Steel Industry

Previous efforts to reduce CO2 in production processes and issues we are currently facing are explained here.
02

Tackling CO₂ Reduction in the Steel Industry

various technological issues to be addressed for realizing steelmaking using hydrogen. We will also address these issues.
03

Technology 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.
04

Technology 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.
05

Technology 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.

ORGANIZATION

We will bring together the wisdom of
those concerned and work on challenging issues.

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.

MESSAGE

We are taking on the challenge of developing innovative technologies with the aim of realizing carbon-neutral processes in the steel industry.
