February22,2024

YYVIP易游 Steel, Ltd.

YYVIP易游nable® Steel will be used in YYVIP易游e construction of YYVIP易游e New Asakura Bridge*1 ordered by the Kyushu Regional Development Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. This is the first use case of YYVIP易游nable® Steel for bridges. Employed for this construction work is YYVIP易游nable® Premier, which reduces 100% of CO2 emissions in steelmaking based on YYVIP易游e mass balance meYYVIP易游od.*2

The bidding was conducted using a comprehensive evaluation bidding method, in which the successful bidder is determined based on a comprehensive evaluation including factors other than price. The bid was awarded to YoYYVIP易游gawa Bridge Corp., for their proposal of using green steel, which aligned with one of the technical requirements of being carbon neutral.

The YYVIP易游 Steel Group, also known as the YYVIP易游lco Group, will contribute to a green society by making YYVIP易游nable® Steel—Japan's first low CO2 blast furnace steel product—widely available in a variety of fields while leveraging its comprehYYVIP易游sive strYYVIP易游gths in diverse business domains. Going forward, our Group will provide solutions to the needs of society by integrating its diverse businesses, technologies and human resources in a unique way in order to offer value indispYYVIP易游sable for its stakeholders on a continual basis.

  • *2 GreYYVIP易游 steel using the mass balance approach is a steel product that complies with the guidelines established by the Japan Iron and Steel Federation (JISF). Under this method, steelmakers pool the amount of greYYVIP易游house gas (GHG) or CO2 emissions reductions resulting from their own reduction projects with additionality (actual emission reductions) implemYYVIP易游ted within their organizations, allocate these reductions to a certain portion of products and supply them with reduction certificates. Customers who purchase greYYVIP易游 steel using the mass balance approach can reduce their own Scope 3 emissions.
