Implementing the Voluntary Action Plan from the Japan Iron and Steel Federation
*1The Kyoto Protocol’s initial commitment period
This period for meeting the targets started from the year ended March 31, 2009, to the year ending March 31, 2013.
*2 Voluntary Action Plan
This plan set an objective of a 10% reduction in energy consumption on average from the year ended March 31, 2009, to the year ending
Approaches to Energy Saving and CO
2Reduction
The Japan Iron and Steel Federation announced that the industry has to cut its energy consumption for the year ended March 31, 2008, by 2.7% compared with the level for the year ended March 31, 1991. As a complementary measure, the federation bought 59 million tons of carbon offsets under the Kyoto Protocol.
March 31, 2013, compared with the year ended March 31, 1991. This target assumes crude steel production of 100 million tons. This plan also aims for recycling of one million tons of plastic waste, assuming the establishment of a waste plastic collection system.
*3 PJ = Petajoule (1015 joules).
1 PJ equals the energy derived from 25,800 kiloliters of crude oil.

to these efforts, we have achieved a 35% reduction in unit energy consumption during the period between the year ended March 31, 1974 and the year ended March 31, 2009, achieving world-class eficiency in energy consumption.
Since the irst oil crisis, JFE Steel has actively been working towards energy saving and CO2 reduction.
For example, we recover by-product gases generated in the process of iron and steel making, as well as waste heat and pressure released from the BF top pressure recovery turbine, etc. Thanks
Unit energy consumption in comparison to the year ended March 1974
Although crude steel production increased 13% in the year ended March 31, 2009, compared with the year ended March 31, 1991, we decreased energy consumption by 7.7% and the energy required to produce one ton of crude steel by 18%.
CO2 emissions still remain low, down 4%
compared with of the emissions for the year ended March 31, 2006, when the production volume of crude steel was almost the same as for the year ended March 31, 2009.
While crude steel production increased by 13% in the year ended March 31, 2009 compared to the year ended March 31, 1991, we were able to reduce CO2 emissions by 8.9% and CO2 emissions
involved in producing one ton of crude steel (unit CO2 emissions) by 19%.
The level of CO2 emissions still remains lower,
a 4% decrease, when compared with that of the year ended March 31, 2006 where the production volume of crude steel was almost the same level of that of the year ended March 31, 2009.
In the irst half, we have maintained a high level of production volume in response to stronger demand for high performance steel products from our customers. However, we were obliged to reduce the volume level due to the economic slowdown in the second half. As a result, compared to the level at the year ended March 31, 1991 crude steel production had increased 13% by the year ended March 31, 2009.

World’s First Application of Super-SINTER
TMTechnology
for Infusing Hydrogen-Based Fuel into a Sintering Machine
JFE Steel pioneered the commercial application of Super-SINTERTM, a Secondary-fuel Injection Technology for Energy Reduction, for infusing hydrogen-based fuel into a sintering furnace. We began using this technology on a commercial basis in January 2009. Super-SINTERTM technol-ogy makes the sintering process more energy efficient, thereby greatly reducing CO2 emis-sions while producing high quality sintered ore. JFE Steel is gradually seeing the results of approximately ¥100 billion it has invested to reduce CO2 emissions and energy consumption
under the Second Medium-Term Business Plan (April 2006–March 2009). Key facilities brought on-line in the year ended March 31, 2009 include:
• New shaft furnace (launched in August 2008 at the East Japan Works, Keihin)
• Kurashiki CDQ (launched in March 2009 at the West Japan Works, Kurashiki)
• Expanded use of regenerative burner for reheating furnace for heavy-gauge, hot rolled steel plate (East Japan Works, Chiba, and West Japan Works, Fukuyama)
• Expanded use of city gas infusions to blast furnaces (East Japan Works, Chiba)
• Super-SINTERTM (launched in January 2009 at the
East Japan Works, Keihin)

“Environmental Showcase” exhibit at the
Hokkaido Toyako Summit
The Environmental Showcase was held during the Hokkaido Toyako Summit in July 2008, and featured exhibits of environmen-tally conscious products. JFE Steel participated by displaying its high tensile steel sheets for automobiles. These steel sheets can achieve higher strength without sacriicing workability and are man-ufactured with our advanced technologies, such as the addition of alloy elements. These sheets enable manufacturers to build lighter, more fuel-eficient automobiles, thereby contributing to a reduction of CO2 emissions. The showcase was a great opportunity for us to promote a better understanding of our sophisticated technical capa-bilities among people from around the world.
JFE Steel is actively moving forward with the devel-opment of high performance steel products such as highly formable and tensile steel sheets that contribute to the development of lighter, more fuel eficient automobiles; high lux density and low iron loss electromagnetic steel sheets to increase the
eficiency of transformers and motors.
According to the “FYE 2008 Estimates” re-leased by the Institute of Energy Economics, Japan, member companies of the institute have cut 8.12 million tons of CO2 emissions by supplying 4.47
mil-lion tons of the high performance steel products.

Work Completed on the Grande Progresso—One of the World’s Largest
Ore Carriers
Wo r k o n t h e G r a n d e P r o -gresso, which means “major progress” in Portuguese, was completed on May 30, 2008. This 300,000-ton ore carrier will transport raw materials for JFE Steel. Using larger vessels like the Grande Progresso creates transportation efficiencies and greatly reduces the environmen-tal impact and transportation costs.
To reduce CO2 and NOx emissions from the
trans-portation of steel products, JFE Steel is making a “modal shift” to relatively low-environmental impact ship and rail transportation modes. In pur-suit of better transportation eficiencies, we are also using more large ore carriers to transport
raw materials.
JFE Steel achieved a modal shift of 95% in the year ended March 31, 2009. The amount of CO2 emissions for deliveries was approximately
390,000 tons.
To remove iron ore impurities, lime and dolomite are added to BF and converters. The CO2 from
the breaking down of these materials is non-energy-related CO2.
During the year ended March 31, 2009, JFE Steel’s non-energy-related CO2 emissions were
approximately 1.79 million tons, down 7% from the level of the prior year.

Environmental Management System
The JFE Group actively participates in volunteer cleanup activities in areas adjacent to its facilities.
Elsewhere, the JFE Steel West Japan Works went a bit farther afield, participating in a cleanup campaign of the Ashida Riverside held in July, a special month for protecting Japan's rivers, as well as a cleanup of the local seashore designated as habitat for horseshoe crabs, a protected species.
The JFE Group participates in various exhibitions on environmental themes in order to provide stakeholders with necessary information on its activities.
In December 2008, we participated in Eco-Prod-ucts 2008, one of Japan’s largest environmental fairs, presenting our environmental initiatives, along with our technologies/products that sup-port entire society and life, and contribute to en-vironmental preservation.
The JFE Group actively offers information relat-ed to the environment through the JFE Group website. Its environmental management policy, results and activities are introduced under the title of “Environmental Activities.”
Moreover, JFE has been cooperating with an environmental website “ecobeing,” where general knowledge on environmental issues is presented in an easily comprehensive way. Through this linkage, the Group introduces comments of “eco people,” who are innova-tively involved in environmental issues. This is one example of JFE’s efforts to promote environmental awareness activities among the general public.

Air Quality Preservation
JFE Steel has been earnestly promoting circulation/ recycling of industrial water consumed in the steel production process, with its industrial water circulation rate* maintained at as high a level as about 93%. For release into public waters, wastewater is given appropriate purification treatment so that its pollution loads can be reduced.
To prevent environmental abnormalities, JFE Steel constantly monitors the load on air and on water quality through a combination of methods like periodic batch analyses, continuous analyses by an automatic analyzer, and ITV-based remote monitoring.

JFE Steel has been recycling byproducts (i.e., iron and steel slag*1, dust, and sludge*2) in the steel production process in the works as raw materials for steel manufacturing and has been promoting effective utilization of byproducts as resources. During the year ended March 31, 2009, JFE Steel took another step forward in its on-site recycling by starting up a roasting furnace for oil sludge in the Kurashiki region.
We practice appropriate storage of PCB waste in accordance with the law as well as disposal of such waste based on the schedule directed by the Japan Environmental Safety Corporation (JESCO).
Furthermore, for large transformers and other items exceeding JESCO‘s size limitations, we have developed and commercialized technology for on-site oil removal and disassembly, thereby, contributing to proper disposal.

Control/Release Reduction of Chemical Substances
In the ofice area, we do what we can to promote energy conservation by using a highly efficient Clathrate Hydrate Slurry (CHS) Heat Storage Air-conditioning System and turning off lights during lunch breaks. In the year ended March 31, 2009, we installed additional solar street lights at the Tsu-rumi Engineering & Manufacturing Center, adding to that installed the prior year, and adopted energy-saving equipment in remodeling the kitchen for the employee cafeteria.
In the production divisions, we took several measures such as reducing the amount of gas used for cutting and welding, and improving the ef-iciency of our compressed air usage.
In the production divisions and office divisions together, the total amount of CO2 emissions was
16.8 thousand tons for the year ended March 31, 2009.
From August 2004 onward, we have been striv-ing to assess the amount of CO2 emissions for local
construction sites. In addition, from the year ended March 31, 2007, we continue implementation of other activities designed to reduce CO2 output such
as reducing occurrences of machine idling at con-struction sites.
