Rio Tinto commissions carbon-capture trial at China's Shougang steel plant
Mining major Rio Tinto said on Monday it had commissioned a trial facility to capture carbon dioxide from blast-furnace gas at Chinese steelmaker Shougang Group's operations.
The facility is designed to capture carbon dioxide contained in blast furnace gas produced during iron-making.
The facility, located at Shougang's Jingtang base in China, can process up to 3 000 m3 of blast furnace gas per hour and capture up to 10 000 tons of carbon dioxide annually.
The commissioning of the facility forms part of a memorandum of understanding signed in 2022 by Rio Tinto and Shougang to research and develop technologies that could help reduce carbon emissions across the steel value chain.
Shares of Rio Tinto were down 0.5% to A$164.2, as of 01:02 GMT, while the broader benchmark index was up 0.3%.
