"Drawing the Future of Steel with HyREX"... POSCO Group, Showcases Decarbonization Technology at Climate Industry Expo

[Financial News] POSCO Group announced on the 27th that it will open an integrated exhibition hall at the '2025 Climate Industry International Expo' held at BEXCO, Busan until the 29th, showcasing the group's decarbonization strategy and future-oriented steel technology.
This year marks the 5th participation of POSCO Group, with POSCO Holdings, POSCO, and POSCO International jointly operating the exhibition hall. The exhibition hall is composed of five zones: △Decarbonization Vision △Hydrogen Reduction Steelmaking △Bridge Technology △Intelligent Factory △Energy Transition.
In the Decarbonization Vision zone, located at the center, the group's carbon neutrality roadmap and core technology, 'HyREX' hydrogen reduction steelmaking, are introduced. HyREX is an eco-friendly steelmaking technology that uses hydrogen instead of coal as a reducing agent, having passed the preliminary feasibility study of the national R&D project last June, aiming for commercialization by 2030.
In the Bridge Technology zone, transition response technologies such as low-carbon raw materials and electric furnaces, and Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) are exhibited. In the Intelligent Factory zone, advanced technologies such as AI-based smart blast furnaces and four-legged walking robots for equipment inspection are displayed, expected to attract the attention of visitors.
In the Energy Transition zone, △POSCO International's plan to convert the Incheon LNG combined power plant to hydrogen co-firing △high corrosion-resistant alloy-coated steel sheet 'PosMAC' for Energy Storage Systems (ESS) △high-manganese steel for LNG and liquefied hydrogen tanks are introduced.
Meanwhile, POSCO Group sees the decarbonization transition as a strategic opportunity to strengthen the group's future growth engines. The group plans to solidify a sustainable growth foundation by implementing a systematic decarbonization strategy encompassing the entire process, including technology development, facility investment, and energy procurement.
