The carbon peak of the steel industry and the carbon reduction action plan take shape

In order to achieve the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, the carbon peaking action plan and road map of the steel industry have been basically clear

According to relevant sources, under the constraints of the “carbon peak” in 2030 and the “carbon neutral” target in 2060, the steel industry’s carbon peak target is initially set as: to achieve carbon emissions peak by 2025; by 2030, Carbon emissions are reduced by 30% from the peak, and carbon emissions are expected to be reduced by 420 million tons

Specifically, the four nodes for the steel industry to achieve carbon peaks and carbon emissions reductions are: carbon emissions peak in 2025; total carbon emissions steadily decline in 2030; a substantial decline in 2035; and China before 2060 The steel industry will be deeply decarbonized

Li Xinchuang, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chief Engineer of the Metallurgical Industry Planning and Research Institute, said that the iron and steel industry is a key area to promote the implementation of comprehensive carbon peaks, a key link in local implementation of carbon peaks, and the main battlefield to promote green and low-carbon development

Li Xinchuang said that the carbon peak goal of the steel industry is to make good use of the limited carbon emissions

"From the current point of view, the low-carbon transition of steel faces greater challenges

In addition, Li Xinchuang also stated that on the one hand, the demand for steel consumption is still high, and crude steel output is difficult to drop; on the other hand, the enhancement of short-term steel consumption expectations may further drive the industry's investment impulse, resulting in a new stage of waste

Therefore, in the short term, reducing steel production may be the primary issue for the steel industry

"Strictly observing the bottom line of not adding new production capacity and strictly controlling the growth of crude steel production capacity is the focus of this year's steel supervision

The "Plan" delineates the key areas and key tasks of carbon emission reduction in the steel industry

In terms of the path of realization, the above-mentioned sources revealed that it will be realized from five aspects

In addition, we should also use "Internet +" and big data technology to build an informatization management and evaluation platform for the entire steel process, so as to drive the steel industry to peak carbon and reduce carbon emissions with innovation

Yin Ruiyu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, suggested that the process structure of China's iron and steel industry should be adjusted in the process of reduction in development

Li Xinchuang said that the distribution of productive forces should be optimized scientifically to effectively change the phenomenon of "North Steel South Transport"

Luo Tiejun said that the role of import and export regulation should be played well.

Luo Tiejun said that China Steel has reached the critical stage of transformation and upgrading to achieve high-quality development.
