日产汽车将在汽车生产中更多使用绿色钢材

Nissan to boost green steel use in car production

日产汽车宣布计划在其日本生产运营中大幅扩大绿色钢材的使用。

Nissan Motor has announced plans to significantly expand the use of green steel in its Japanese production operations.

该汽车制造商的目标是到2025财年，将低碳排放钢材的使用量提高到2023年水平的大约五倍，这也是其在整个汽车生命周期内减少碳排放的广泛战略的一部分。

The automaker aims to increase its usage of low-carbon emission steel to roughly five times the 2023 level by fiscal year 2025, as part of its broader strategy to reduce carbon emissions across its vehicle lifecycle.

此举符合日产更广泛的可持续发展战略，该战略的目标是到2030年在整个汽车生命周期内减少30%的二氧化碳排放，并在2050年实现碳中和。为了实现这一目标，该公司正在从材料采购阶段开始加强脱碳工作。

The move aligns with Nissan’s broader sustainability strategy, which targets a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions across the entire vehicle lifecycle by 2030 and aims for carbon neutrality by 2050. To achieve this, the company is strengthening its decarbonisation efforts from the material procurement stage.

汽车制造商在一份声明中说，钢铁生产是工业二氧化碳排放的主要来源，这主要是由于用于还原铁矿石的高炉工艺造成的。

Steel production is a major source of industrial CO2 emissions, primarily due to the blast furnace process used to reduce iron ore, the automaker says in a statement.

绿色钢铁通过用低碳的直接还原铁替代铁矿石或从高炉转向电弧炉来减少这些排放。该公司补充说，鉴于钢部件约占汽车重量的60%，增加绿色钢材的使用是日产碳中和路线图的关键一步。

Green steel mitigates these emissions by replacing iron ore with low-carbon direct reduced iron or shifting from blast furnaces to electric arc furnaces. Given that steel components account for about 60% of a vehicle’s weight, increasing the use of green steel is a critical step in Nissan’s carbon neutrality roadmap, it adds.

自2023年以来，日产汽车在日本汽车行业率先采用绿色钢材，最初使用的是Kobe Steel的Kobenable Steel。Kallanish（开阑商务信息咨询）获悉，该公司目前正在进一步扩大规模，采用从Nippon Steel、JFE Steel和Posco采购的绿色钢材。

Since 2023, Nissan has led the Japanese automotive industry in green steel adoption, initially using Kobe Steel’s so-called Kobenable Steel. Now, the company is further scaling up by incorporating green steel procured from Nippon Steel, JFE Steel and Posco, Kallanish notes.
