Japan's JFE Steel, NEDO Begin Demonstration Testing of Ferro Coke Production, an Industrial Info Market Brief

---

The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) and JFE Steel Corporation have completed a medium-scale ferro coke-production facility with a daily production capacity of 300 tons, and have begun demonstration testing, aiming to develop ferro coke-production technology that reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions in the ironmaking process by approximately 10%, according to Green Car Congress.

The facility is located at JFE Steel's West Japan Works in Fukuyama, Japan. Ferro coke is produced from low-grade coal and low-grade iron ore in the ironmaking process. It can be used to reduce CO2 emissions and reduce energy consumption.
