Taiwan’s China Steel Corporation (CSC) revealed a roadmap to achieve zero-carbon blast furnace operations by 2050 during the 2026 Taiwan International Fastener Show. CSC President Shou-Tao Chen announced plans to reduce baseline emissions from 22.28 million to 16.65 million tons of CO2e.

EU CBAM regulations and international supply chain requirements drive this transition. CSC identifies a competitive landscape where carbon transparency, low-carbon materials, and recycled content (RC) steel define success, replacing traditional price-based logic.

The company provides RC20 and RC60+ certified products to meet customer ESG needs. Multi-pronged technical strategies include increasing renewable energy and scrap usage, hydrogen steelmaking, and carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) to facilitate industrial evolution toward sustainability.
