Over the years the Japanese steel industry has amassed a wealth of technologies and expertise regarding measures to save energy and protect the environment. Drawing on this wealth, the steel industry extends technical assistance to its counterparts overseas. Notably, the industry has actively extended technical cooperation in such government-initiated programs as GAP (Green Aid Plan) , Joint Implementation, etc.
The steel industry will continue to actively participate in JI, CDM and other similar activities as it sets its sights on solving the issue of global warming.
