Background

Hyundai Steel acquired Dangjin Steel Mill from Hanbo Steel in 2004.[1] The construction of the Dangjin plant began with the groundbreaking ceremony in October 2006 and the first two blast furnaces were commissioned in 2010 and a third one in 2013.[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]
