Kobe Steel plans scrap melting furnace investment at Kakogawa Works

The company’s move stands out as a significant part of its target to reduce carbon emissions by 38% by 2030 compared to 2013 levels. The planned investment is expected to accelerate the transition toward low carbon production.

Within the scope of the project, high capacity scrap melting technology is planned to be integrated with the existing blast furnace infrastructure. In this way, the company aims to increase the utilization rate of high quality ferrous scrap at the facility and reduce dependence on hot metal and pig iron inputs.

If the investment is implemented, Kobe Steel is expected to achieve significant gains in both environmental sustainability and resource efficiency within its production processes.
