Background

According to the capacity replacement plan in July 2022, the company plans to upgrade equipment and eliminate existing equipment. The assigned iron-making capacity is 1.475 million tons and the steel-making capacity is 3.375 million tons.[1]

The project involves demolish one 1,080m3 BF, one 55-ton BOF, and one 60-ton BOF. The company intends to construct one 1,280 m3 BF, two 120-ton BOF, two 120-ton ladle furnaces (LF), and two 120-ton vacuum refining furnaces.The project is scheduled to commence in July 2023, with an estimated completion and production date in July 2025.[2]

The environmental impact assessment document for the company's capacity reduction, equipment upgrading, and high-quality development project was publicly disclosed in December 2023.[3]
