The melting reduction furnace adopted for ironmaking is a world-leading melting reduction furnace, belonging to the non-blast furnace ironmaking process. It uses iron ore fines as raw material to directly produce hot metal through melting reduction, without supporting processes such as coking, sintering and pelletizing, and achieves excellent effects in carbon reduction and pollution reduction.

The traditional converter is replaced with an all-electric furnace in the steelmaking process. A horizontal continuous charging preheating electric furnace is adopted for scrap steel. By utilizing the temperature of electric furnace flue gas and conducting secondary combustion of the flue gas, the preheating temperature of scrap steel is raised, power utilization efficiency is improved, and electric energy is saved.

Adopting internationally advanced equipment such as the three-roll reducing and sizing mill from Germany’s KOCKS and the coiler from USA’s Primetals, technologies including secondary automatic control, low-NOx burners, additional backflushing technology and flue gas preheating recovery are applied. This achieves ultra-low emissions, reduces nitrogen oxide content in flue gas, strengthens full decarburization control, lowers fuel consumption and fulfills the objective of energy conservation.

A special railway line will be constructed in the new area. Bulk materials and products adopt the clean transportation mode of "railway + new energy vehicles", with a clean transportation ratio of over 80%. The proportion of pure electric and fuel cell vehicles for in-plant transportation shall not be less than 80%.

The new plant innovatively builds a three-dimensional power supply mode of "direct wind power connection + on-site photovoltaic (PV) + green power procurement", reshaping the benchmark for green development in the steel industry: Compared with the old plant, it reduces sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxide (NOₓ) emissions by 38%, and particulate matter (PM) emissions by 89%, achieving remarkable pollutant reduction effects; the carbon emission intensity is expected to be 1.4 tCO₂/t crude steel, a decrease of 28% compared with 1.959 tCO₂/t crude steel of the old plant; the comprehensive energy consumption per ton of steel is 524.5 kgce/t, a reduction of 18.7% compared with 645 kgce/t of the old plant. The effects of emission reduction, energy conservation and carbon reduction are remarkable, injecting strong momentum into the low-carbon transformation of the province's steel industry.
