Workers Walk Past Hot Rolled Steel Coils |
||
|
||
| SOUTH KOREA: October 6, 2008 | ||
|
Workers walk past hot rolled steel coils at a production line at POSCO, South Korea's largest steel maker, in Pohang, about 370 km (230 miles) south of Seoul.
|
||
|
Pohang's oldest furnace, with a 35-year history, helped POSCO grow into the world's No.4 steel giant. But it may soon become a thing of the past as POSCO, which alone produces around 10 percent of South Korea's total carbon dioxide, moves to new technology to cope with stricter carbon emission rules.
