- FY2021Pilot plant completed and demonstration testing launchedAnnual report
「A medium-scale ferro-coke production facility with a capacity of 300 tonnes per day was completed, and demonstration testing began on 9 October 2020. Through the development of ferro-coke production technology at this facility, the company aims to establish by around 2023 technology that reduces CO2 emissions and energy consumption in the ironmaking process by approximately 10%.」
The ferro-coke project progressed from construction planning to facility completion and the launch of demonstration testing, while the target of establishing technology to achieve approximately 10% reductions by around 2023 remained in place. - FY2019AdvancedAnnual report
「JFE Steel Corporation (consolidated subsidiary) | West Japan Works (Fukuyama District) | Ferro-coke pilot-plant construction | June 2017–June 2019 | 150」
Construction of the ferro-coke pilot plant was incorporated into the capital investment plan, with completion scheduled for June 2019, indicating the next stage toward demonstration research. - FY2018First statedAnnual report
「This pilot plant will be a medium-scale production facility with a production capacity of 300 tonnes per day, constructed as part of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) project “Development of Environmentally Harmonized Steelmaking Process Technologies / Development of Ironmaking Process Technologies Using Ferro-Coke.” Following demonstration research, the company aims to establish technology that reduces energy consumption in the ironmaking process by approximately 10% within 5 years.」
The company provided its first specific plan to construct a ferro-coke pilot plant and establish, within 5 years, technology to reduce energy consumption in the ironmaking process by approximately 10%.
