Steel industry energy conservation and emission reduction and green development space is huge
"In recent years, China's steel industry has made significant progress in terms of energy consumption per ton of steel and emissions per ton of steel, but due to the sharp increase in the total output of crude steel since the new century, the total energy consumption and emissions of the steel industry have not decreased, but significantly increased!" Yin Ruiyu, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and former vice minister of the Ministry of Metallurgy, said at a recent exchange conference on energy-saving technology and high-efficiency energy-saving motors in the steel industry.
As a big carbon polluter, how to remove the cap of high carbon steel industry has become the focus of the industry. Academician Yin Ruiyu's remarks just pointed out the great difficulty and serious problem of carbon emission reduction in the steel industry, especially in the context of China's efforts to achieve carbon peak by 2030 and strive for carbon neutrality by 2060, the significance of energy conservation and emission reduction in the steel industry has been raised to a new height.
