Background

According to the announcement of the capacity replacement plan in December 2021, the company plans to build a 100-tonne basic oxygen furnace and a 100-tonne electric arc furnace. The basic oxygen furnace is expected to be put into operation in 2022 and the electric arc furnace will be put into operation in 2023.[1]

In September 2022, the capacity replacement plan was adjusted. The company plans to build a 120-ton basic oxygen furnace and a 100-tonne electric arc furnace to eliminate three 80-ton basic oxygen furnaces.[2]
