JFE East Japan Works (Keihin) steel plant, also known as JFE - NKK Ohgishima, is a blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF) and electric arc furnace (EAF) retired steel plant in Kawasaki, Kantō, Japan.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Kawasaki, Kantō, Japan:
- Location: 1-1 Ohgishima, Kawasaki-ku, Kawasaki-shi, Kanagawa Pref. 210-0868 Japan
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 35.480690, 139.729684 (exact)
Background
The JFE East Japan Works (Keihin) steel plant began operating in 1971.[1] Nippon Kokan (NKK) established the first steel mill on this site in 1912. In 1971 the mill facilities were completely rebuilt on a manmade island.[2][3]
In 2020, JFE Steel announced that it was planning to shut down its second blast furnace by March 2024, and its upstream processes by 2023.[4]
The blast furnace was shut down in September 2023.[5] JFE Steel plans to build a hydrogen receiving base at the site of the former No. 2 blast furnace at the plant. The company plans to develop the site as a receiving base for hydrogen from FY 2024, and a demonstration project is scheduled to begin in FY 2028.[6]
