JFE Steel Corporation, one of the world's preeminent integrated steel producers, has announced that it will commence supply of JGreeX™ green-steel products in the current fiscal year, which began in April. These products, which will be produced using highly advanced steelmaking processes, will have significantly lower CO₂ emissions than conventional steel products.
The JGreeX™ brand is expected to have an annual supply capacity of 200,000 metric tons per year in the first year, with JFE Steel utilizing the mass balance approach to determine the CO₂ emissions reduction levels for each product.
JFE Steel will strive to reduce CO₂ emissions across its entire supply chain and accelerate the decarbonization of society by expanding its capacity to deliver stable supplies of JGreeX™ green-steel products. The independent organization ClassNK will perform third-party certifications of JGreeX™ products to confirm their respective CO₂ emissions-reduction levels.
