steelTalks is a monthly series on topics of interest to the global steel community. The lectures are presented in a webinar format with a guest lecturer. This lecture presents current efforts and achievements towards ‘JISF’s Commitment to a Low Carbon Society’, including joint emission reduction efforts among Japanese steel companies. These efforts focus on three ECO’s; ECO Process, ECO Solution, and ECO Products.
Description
The global steel industry is energy intensive and a contributor to global climate change emissions, measuring an average 1.85 tonnes CO2 per tonne of cast steel according to World Steel Association.
The Japanese steel industry has been tackling the issue from as early as 1996 under initiatives of the Japan Iron & Steel Federation (JISF). This lecture presents current efforts and achievements towards ‘JISF’s Commitment to a Low Carbon Society’, including joint emission reduction efforts among Japanese steel companies. These efforts focus on three ECO’s; ECO Process, ECO Solution, and ECO Products.
The second half of the lecture explores the longer term challenge of the Paris Agreement and presents JISF’s long-term vision for climate change mitigation, ‘A Challenge Towards Zero Carbon Steel’.
Examples of actions by JFE Steel under these initiatives will be referenced.
