Background

According to the announcement of the capacity replacement plan in December 2019, the company planned to build a 120-tonne basic oxygen furnace and a 130-tonne electric arc furnace, dismantle three 50-tonne basic oxygen furnaces and a 90-ton electric arc furnace. It is expected to be put into operation in June 2022.[1] In August 2021, the environmental impact assessment report of 120-tonne BOF was approved.[2]

According to another announcement of the capacity replacement plan in December 2019, the company planned to build a 2350m3 blast furnace to replace 2x480m3 and 2x580m3 blast furnaces in August 2021 and build a 2350m3 blast furnace to replace 2x480m3 and 2x580m3 blast furnaces in March 2023.[3] The first 2350m3 was put into operation on March 29, 2022.[4]

Zhangjiagang Hongchang Steel Co., Ltd. is currently recognized as the largest steel plant in the world with nearly 30 mtpa capacity.[5] POSCO Gwangyang steel plant was previously recognized as the largest steel plant in the world at 23 mtpa.[6]
