Achieved world’s first 43% reduction in CO2 emissions in a test furnace, reaching the development goal ahead of schedule
Nippon Steel Corporation (hereafter “Nippon Steel”) has been undertaking the development of three super-innovative technologies under the “Nippon Steel Carbon Neutral Vision 2050,” with support from the Japanese government*. One of these technologies is hydrogen injection into blast furnaces, which uses hydrogen instead of coal to reduce iron ore in a blast furnace, thereby significantly reducing CO2 emissions. Now, Nippon Steel has achieved the world’s first CO2 emission reduction of over 40% (actual result of 43%) in a test furnace, reaching the development goal in the test furnace ahead of schedule.
