Resumo

Steelmakers in Korea are expected to face challenges as followings: The upsurge in prices of raw materials, the oversupply and saturation of steel market, the lowered inflexibility to raw material quality by increased number of large-scale blast furnaces and the pressure to mitigate CO2 emission. To solve the challenges, steelmakers in Korea have made the technological innovation based on creativity, including the development of FINEX® process. In addition, they have been developing the hydrogen reduction technology to enhance the reduction of non-reducible iron ores and to mitigate CO2 emitted from the steel plants. The current efforts in Korea will give a great opportunity to leap over the next advanced stage.
