Tenova announced on September 29 that Nippon Steel selected it to supply a Consteel electric arc furnace for Yawata in Japan. GE Vernova will provide the Direct Feed power system.
The planned furnace has a heat size of 340 tonnes. It supports a shift from blast-furnace to electric-arc steelmaking. This is an equipment supply announcement rather than confirmation that the facility is complete or emissions reductions have been achieved.
In an IEA scenario, electricity could cost-effectively supply 33 percent of final energy use by 2035; projected import savings are not realized outcomes.
The utility’s long-term plan projects lower emissions despite rising electricity demand; its solar, battery and reverse-osmosis targets are not completed outcomes.
