Shougang Group and Rio Tinto have commissioned a large-scale industrial carbon capture facility designed to capture CO₂ from blast furnace gas at Shougang's Chinese steel operations. This follows a smaller trial and forms part of a broader partnership focused on reducing carbon emissions along the steelmaking value chain with potential for wider technology deployment.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Industrial, and 3 sources have reported it between 28 Sep 2026 and 5 Oct 2026.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Steel founders can now track a proven path to lower emissions with operational carbon capture at scale integrated into production. That reduces the risk in building or adopting similar capture tech in existing blast furnace operations.
