blast furnace

The company explains this step by the drop in demand for steel and the increase in the energy costs

Carbon emissions at this stage of Ukrainian manufacturers amount to 0.46 t/t

The plant with a capacity of 4 million tons of steel per year left only one blast furnace in operation due to weak demand and high production costs

Now the plant's capacities are running at 50%, and after the restart of the third furnace, there will be 75%

The company is going to launch the most powerful BF in Europe after reaching 50% of utilization level

The plant expect to reach 100% utilization level of the mining department by the end of April

The launch of blast furnace could take place in near future in case of normalization of raw materials supply, energy costs, and martial law

On 27 December, Dniprovskyi Iron and Steel Works resumed operation of the blast furnace No. 12

200 to 250 workers are engaged daily
