Background
Dongkuk Incheon Steel Plant was established in 1972Incheon works installed a DC electric arc furnace (EAF) in 1993 and an eco-arc EAF in 2010 with a capacity of 1200 ttpa.[1] The company in February 2023 announced its plans to improve the power efficiency of its eco-arc electric furnace by preheating iron scraps and improving the filling method, and complete the research by 2028.[2]
In February 2023, South Korean Industry minister and chiefs of the South Korea's seven major steelmakers, including POSCO Holdings Inc., Hyundai Steel Co. and Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., signed an agreement to promote investment and technology development to achieve low-carbon steelmaking.[3]
