MRAI Visits VNSTEEL – Southern Steel to Discuss Carbon Emission Reduction in Steel Production

As part of its visit to metal recycling facilities in Vietnam, a delegation from the Material Recycling Association of India (MRAI) visited Southern Steel Company Limited – VNSTEEL (SSCV) and conducted an interview with company representatives. The discussion was featured in Episode 12 of the MRAI Asia leadership interview series.

Beginning with the important role of steel in the development of railway networks and infrastructure, the interview focused on the use of steel scrap as a raw material in steel production, as well as potential solutions to reduce carbon emissions in the steel industry. Both sides also discussed three major steelmaking technologies currently in use: the Blast Furnace–Basic Oxygen Furnace (BF–BOF), Electric Arc Furnace (EAF), and Induction Furnace (IF).

The visit provided an opportunity for Vietnamese and Indian enterprises to exchange experiences in utilizing recycled materials, adopting advanced technologies, and improving the efficiency of steel production. The discussions also highlighted a key challenge facing the steel industry: how can steel producers meet the growing demand for infrastructure development while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions per tonne of steel produced?
