Shougang, Rio Tinto commission carbon capture trial facility at China steel plant

Chinese steel producer Shougang Group and mining firm Rio Tinto have launched an industrial-scale carbon capture trial facility at the Shougang Jingtang steel plant in Hebei Province, capable of capturing up to 10,000 tonnes of CO2 annually from blast furnace gas. The captured CO2 is planned to be utilised for biomass gasification processes to produce syngas, with aims to recycle it back into steelmaking and potentially scale carbon utilisation further.
