  • Location: No. 18 Dongdao Avenue, Dongjian Street, Zhanjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province
  • Coordinates (WGS 84): 21.056035, 110.48657 (exact)

Background

The No. 1 blast furnace system and No. 2 blast furnace system, including 2 blast furnaces and 3 BOF, have been put into operation. The No. 3 blast furnace system, including a 5050m3 blast furnace and a 350 tonne basic oxygen furnace, is still under construction and is expected to be put into operation in 2021.[1][2]

The No. 3 blast furnace system, including a 5050m3 blast furnace and a 350 tonne basic oxygen furnace was put into operation on December 28, 2021。[3]

On December 23, 2021, Baosteel Zhanjiang 1 million-ton hydrogen-based shaft furnace project started. The project will build China's first self-integrated mega-ton shaft furnace, and the world's first shaft furnace that directly adds hydrogen for reduction production.[4][5]

Low-emissions/green steelmaking

This steel plant is associated with a green steel project tracked in the Green Steel Tracker. Details about the project are included below.
