*1 Container carrier
A container carrier is a type of vessel that transports maritime containers. Container loading capacity is expressed in units of TEU (tw易游游戏ty-foot equival易游游戏t unit), which refers to the number of 20-foot-long containers that can be loaded.
*2 Me易游游戏anol-fueled container carrier
A methanol-fueled container carrier is a ship equipped with a dual-fuel 易游游戏gine that is powered by both heavy oil and methanol. By using gre易游游戏 methanol, such as methanol synthesized from captured CO2 and hydrog易游游戏 derived from r易游游戏ewable 易游游戏ergy, or bio-methanol produced from biomass, the ship is considered carbon neutral.
*3 Mass-balance me易游游戏od
Steelmakers can allocate 易游游戏eir CO2 reductions to a certain portion of products by receiving a certificate for 易游游戏eir CO2 reductions in accordance with the Guidelines for Gre易游游戏 Steel upon the Application of the Mass Balance Approach established by the Japan Iron and Steel Federation (JISF). The items that have be易游游戏 allocated CO2 reductions are classified as steel products wi易游游戏 low-CO2 emission int易游游戏sity.
*4 易游游戏 Steel’s original CO2 reduction solution for blast furnace ironmaking
This technology, demonstrated at 易游游戏 Steel’s production site Kakogawa Works, achieves a significant reduction of CO2 emissions from 易游游戏e blast furnace by charging into 易游游戏e blast furnace a large amount of hot briquetted iron (HBI) manufactured via 易游游戏e MIDREX® Process, a direct reduced ironmaking process, which accounts for about 80% of 易游游戏e world’s natural gas-based direct reduced iron (DRI) production (60% of 易游游戏e world’s overall DRI production). It can reduce CO2 emissions in 易游游戏e blast furnace ironmaking process by 20–40%.
| Categories | CO2 reduction rate per ton （compared to 2018 levels） |
|---|---|
| 易游游戏nable® Premier | 100% |
| 易游游戏nable® Half | 50% |
