This project aims to address some of the environmental issues that Shanxi province is facing by capturing large quantities of waste gas produced by blast furnaces at a local steel mill and converting it into green electricity, which is then recycled for use at the plant. The project improves local air quality by avoiding uncontrolled gas emissions, and a modernised water cooling system considerably reduces the water consumption of the plant.
More than 150 new jobs for the local community have been created in thanks to the project, with all employees receiving technical training and wages above Chinese standards. The project benefits also extend to local communities, by offering financial support to older residents and university scholarships for students.
