日本製鉄株式会社（以下、日本製鉄）が提供するマスバランス方式を適用したグリーンスチール（以下、グリーンスチール*）「NSCarbolex® Neutral（エヌエスカーボレックス ニュートラル）」が、冬木工業株式会社（以下、冬木工業）が手掛ける、学校法人有坂中央学園の高崎校３号館建替工事の鉄骨向けＨ形鋼に採用

日本製鉄株式会社（以下、日本製鉄）が提供するマスバランス方式を適用したグリーンスチール（以下、グリーンスチール *1）「NSCarbolex® Neutral（エヌエスカーボレックス ニュートラル）」が、軸受・構造・建築機器の製造メーカーであるオイレス工業株式会社（本社：神奈川県藤沢市　以下、オイレス工業）の軸受製品用の銅めっき鋼板「カッパータイト® *2」に採用されることが決定

当社が提供する低CO2高炉鋼材 ”Kobenable® Steel”が、新たに中嶋産業株式会社の切板製品に採用されました。同切板製品は株式会社クロセにて製作されるバイオマス発電用のスパイラル熱交換器に使用されます。今回採用されたのは鋼材製造における CO2排出量をマスバランス方式により 100％削減した”Kobenable® Premier”です。

山陽特殊製鋼株式会社(代表取締役社長 宮本 勝弘、本社 兵庫県姫路市)は、ベアリングの疲労寿命向上を実現する高清浄度軸受鋼について、第三者機関によって検証された環境情報を定量的に開示する環境ラベル「エコリーフ」の認証を取得しました。

2024年4月から兵庫県内の水力発電所に由来する再エネ電力の購入を開始することといたしました。
当社の本社・工場が立地する兵庫県は山間部が多く、河川の流れ等を利用した水力発電所が数多く設置されています。こうした周辺地域の自然に恵まれた環境から生み出される環境価値を積極的に活用するため、兵庫県内の水力発電所に由来する再エネ電力について、購入可能な電力の全量である年間4,000万kWhを購入し、特殊鋼製造に必要な電力として使用いたします。
なお、この電力の量は当社の年間使用電力の約５％に相当し、当社の事業所内で排出されるCO2排出量を約17,000 トン/年削減することが可能になります。

Middletown Works DRI Plant and Electric Melting Furnaces (up to $500 million grant)
If awarded, the Company would replace its existing blast furnace at its Middletown Works Facility in Middletown, Ohio with a 2.5mtpa Hydrogen-Ready Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) Plant and two 120 MW Electric Melting Furnaces (EMF) to feed molten iron to the existing infrastructure already on site, including the BOF, Caster, Hot Strip Mill, and various finishing facilities. Middletown will maintain its existing raw steel production capacity of approximately 3 million net tons per year and will no longer use coke for iron production. The EMF technology is well established and, together with the injection of hydrogen in blast furnaces, is a preferred route for meaningful reduction in carbon emissions for integrated steelmakers worldwide
Butler Works Induction Reheat Furnaces (up to $75 million grant)
If awarded, Cliffs would also replace two of its existing natural-gas fired high-temperature slab reheat furnaces at Butler Works in Butler, Pennsylvania with four Electrified Induction Slab Reheat Furnaces, to bring optimum efficiency to its production of electrical steels, a critical component of the electrification of America and the greening of the electrical grid.
Major corporations engaged in a unique research collaboration to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions.

SSAB has been selected for awards negotiations for up to 500 MUSD in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy for a potential construction of a HYBRIT[®] manufacturing facility, capable of producing fossil free iron by using green hydrogen instead of fossil fuels. The project will also explore the possibility to expand capacity and capability at SSAB’s steel manufacturing operations in Montpelier, Iowa, including increased use of renewable energy.

With greentec steel, voestalpine has a clear plan for decarbonizing steel production. voestalpine is not alone in its mission to reduce greenhouse gas emissions: more and more customers also want to reduce their carbon footprint by using high-quality CO2-reduced premium steel. The steel and technology Group is already providing 35 companies from various industries with superior steel products in the greentec steel Edition. Designer furniture, wind turbines, and cranes are just a few examples of products that can be manufactured more sustainably through an optimized production process. voestalpine itself recently used the green steel to build a new belt conveyor, which will also supply the planned electric arc furnace (EAF) in Linz with raw materials in the future.

Together with several large Swedish companies and universities, SSAB has joined a new research collaboration aimed at identifying technologies and solutions that eliminate greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to SSAB, Boliden, Borgstena, Lindholmen Science Park, Polestar, Sekab, SKF, Stora Enso, Volvo Cars, and multiple universities are part of the initiative called Mission 0 House.

On 19 March, SteelZero presented at “The Era of Carbon Neutrality – Challenges and Strategies for South Korea’s Industries” forum with over 80 in-person attendees and 100 more joining online, co-hosted by the Korean Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) and Solutions for Our Climate (SFOC).
Speakers including SteelZero members Polestar and Ørsted, the Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and others presented their progress and the opportunities to achieve a net zero steel industry in South Korea.
The event mobilised discussions on practical next steps for decarbonising steelmaking in Korea, ahead of the Climate Group Asia Action Summit in Seoul on 21 May 2024.
