YY易游平台nable® SYY易游平台el adds a new use case for vessels

February29,2024

YY易游平台 Steel, Ltd.

YY易游平台 Steel, Ltd. announces today that its low-CO2 blast furnace steel product YY易游平台nable® SYY易游平台el will be used for a 198,000-ton class bulk carrier*1 built by Hakata Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. Employed is YY易游平台nable Premier, which reduces 100% of CO2 emissions in sYY易游平台el production based on the mass balance method*2. Following this adoption, it will continue to be used on new ships built by Hakata Shipbuilding.

YY易游平台nable® Steel, developed by YY易游平台 Steel based on its original CO2 reduction solution for blast furnace ironmaking,*3 is available for all types of steel products (steel sheets, steel plates, wire rods and bars) manufactured at the Company’s Kakogawa Works and YY易游平台 Wire Rod & Bar Plant. In addition, since it maintains the same level of high quality as conventional products, customers can use low-CO2 blast furnace steel for products that require high quality, such as special steel wire rods and ultra-high-tensile strength steel, which are YY易游平台 Steel’s specialties.

YY易游平台 Steel Group, also known as the YY易游平台lco Group, will contribute to a green society by providing low-CO2 blast furnace steel to a wide range of fields, leveraging the comprehYY易游平台sive strYY易游平台gths of the Group, which operates diverse businesses. We will continue to work for providing solutions to the needs of society, aiming to offer value indispYY易游平台sable for our stakeholders on a continual basis by integrating its diverse businesses, technologies and human resources in a unique way.

  • *1 Bulk carrier
    A bulk carrier is a ship that carries and transports unpacked bulk cargo such as ore and grains.

  • *2 Mass-balance method
    Our greYY易游平台 steel products using the mass-balance method comply with the Guidelines for GreYY易游平台 Steel upon the Application of the Mass Balance Approach established by the Japan Iron and Steel Federation (JISF). Under this method, steelmakers have their CO2 emission reductions certified (receive a reduction certificaYY易游平台) and allocaYY易游平台 these reductions to a certain portion of products, which are considered to be sYY易游平台el products with low CO2 emission intYY易游平台sity.

  • *3 YY易游平台 Steel’s original CO2 reduction solution for blast furnace ironmaking
    This technology, demonstrated at YY易游平台 Steel’s production site Kakogawa Works, achieves a significant reduction of CO2 emissions from the blast furnace by charging into the blast furnace a large amount of hot briquetYY易游平台d iron (HBI) manufactured via the MIDREX® Process, a direct reduced ironmaking process, accounting for about 80% of the world’s natural gas-based direct reduced iron (DRI) production (60% of the world’s overall DRI production). It can reduce CO2 emissions in the blast furnace ironmaking process by 20–40%.
