Nippon Steel is projecting a larger net loss than previously expected for the fiscal year through next month due partly to a fire that broke out at a plant in Muroran, Hokkaido, last December. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/02/06/companies/nippon-steel-net-loss/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #nipponsteel #us #steel #hokkaido #china

🏢 Legacy of steel, lying in rust. The building served as the main offices for a large iron and steel company in France during the 1890s. The offices shut down in the 1980s and have been vacant for decades.
The architecture centres around a large internal courtyard, enclosed by a glass skylight. Inside are former offices and record rooms, with scattered paperwork and an old typewriter still in place.

Got smol mild #steel service trolley, so I don't have to keep going back and forth for multiple #toolboxes and other stuff when working on #cars or other general #maintenance - lined each tray and added reflective tape on corners and LED lights for safety when I am out in the yard in the dark - there are many random vehicles arriving for the repair garage next door at all hours, and their drivers are often stressed and distracted (one even forgot his doggo when collecting a car and had to come back for it!) #DIY #maker

Japan’s JFE Steel will invest 157.5 billion rupees in an equal joint venture with India’s JSW Steel as demand for steel in the South Asian country is surging. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/12/04/companies/jfe-steel-india/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #jfe #steel #india #jsw

Next time someone makes excuses for coal mining because you need steel for wind turbines, tell them yes, sometimes you do, but you don't necessarily need coking coal for steel;

Japan’s major trading houses are facing a prolonged slump in iron ore and coking coal prices as Chinese steel exports flood into Asia and beyond, constraining profits for at least the next six months. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/11/06/companies/china-steel-exports-trading-houses/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #china #steel #mitsubishi #sumitomo #marubeni #itochu

Deception Pass Bridge, WA in B&W
There are actually two bridges constructed between 1934-1935. Whidbey Island to the very small Pass Island, and from Pass Island to Fidalgo Island. this photo was taken underneath the south span from Whidbey Island.

Japan turns to anti-dumping measures as international trade gets complicated, with an uptick in the number of probes this year indicating an evolving strategy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/10/15/economy/japan-anti-dumping/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #china #southkorea #steel #trade #chinajapanrelations #southkoreajapanrelations
Britain's east coast has turned into ground zero for the latest stage of industrial decay — and its looming political fallout. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/14/world/politics/brexit-uk-east-coast/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #brexit #uk #trade #tariffs #oil #steel #china #keirstarmer
The UK is trumpeting #rail200: the 200th anniversary of the railway. As @markhburton points out, that’s a bit premature: https://mstdn.social/@markhburton/113803780435711720
But I want to re-up Kris de Dekker’s lens.
If we were serious about constructing a low carbon economy, we’d acknowledge, soberly, that we have a steel problem:
“The global iron and steel industry consumes more energy and produces more carbon emissions than any other industry.”
Some notes from Kris’s excellent analysis follow…
@urlyman @markhburton
Something has to be largest.
Steel and Iron is persistent once out of the ground/furnace, and I think as electricity becomes superabundant the recycling of steel is going to reduce its contribution to CO2.
But chipping away at it is a good work.
