K-GenesisX™｜Sustainable Products & Next-Generation Technology of the Krosaki Harima Group

By extending the service life and enhancing the durability of refractories used in customers’ manufacturing processes, we can reduce the frequency of refractory replacement and decrease idle time. Additionally, our technologies that reduce impurities in steel can improve the yield rate of the customers’ products. As a result, productivity in customers’ manufacturing processes is enhanced, leading to a reduction in energy consumption and CO₂ emissions per ton.

We are reducing environmental impact during refractory manufacturing by selecting raw materials that minimize the use of environmentally harmful substances, and by improving the recycling rate of refractory products. We also contribute to customer cost savings and help reduce CO₂ emissions during disposal through recycling to reduce the amount of used refractories that are typically treated as industrial waste.

We are developing technologies that provide precision, safety, and security in harsh environments. Such as products used in the minus 270℃ conditions of outer space, and robots that substitute for humans in tasks like automatically replacing refractories in front of high-temperature furnaces exceeding 1500℃. We position K-GenesisX™ as a symbol of forward-looking technology development, including next-generation steelmaking processes like hydrogen-based steelmaking.
