JFE East Japan Works (Keihin) steel plant, also known as JFE - NKK Ohgishima, is a 4075 thousand tonnes per annum (TTPA) blast furnace (BF), basic oxygen furnace (BOF) and electric arc furnace (EAF) steel plant operating in Kawasaki, Kantō, Japan.
Location
The map below shows the location of the steel plant in Kawasaki, Kantō, Japan.
- Location: 1-1 Ohgishima, Kawasaki-ku, Kawasaki-shi, Kanagawa Pref. 210-0868 Japan[1]
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 35.480690, 139.729684 (exact)
Background
The JFE East Japan Works (Keihin) steel plant began operating in 1971.[2] Nippon Kokan (NKK) established the first steel mill on this site in 1912. In 1971 the mill facilities were completely rebuilt on a manmade island.[3][4]
In 2020, JFE Steel announced that it was planning to shut down its second blast furnace by March 2024, and its upstream processes by 2023.[5]
