25th (Sun) - 28th (Wed) June 2023 : COOLIT 2023
We are pleased to invite you to attend the “International Symposium on CO2-Lean Ironmaking Technology(COOLIT) 2023: Road to Green Steel”. The symposium will be held from the 25th to 28th of June 2023 in Gyeongju & Pohang, Republic of Korea, and experts from around the world will be invited to discuss latest strategies and technologies for CO2-lean ironmaking, especially in the Asian-pacific region, which accounts for nearly 75% of the world’s coal-based pig iron roduction.
The aim of the symposium is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge between academic researchers and industry professionals in the iron and steelmaking technology. The focus of the Symposium will be on CO2-lean ironmaking technology, which has the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions in the iron and steel industry.
This is a unique opportunity to learn about the latest developments in CO2-lean ironmaking technology and to network with leading experts in the field. We believe that your articipation in the symposium will be valuable to both you and the wider iron and steelmaking field.
