The steel industry is the industry with the largest carbon emission besides energy, and the green and low-carbon development has become the core proposition of the transformation and development of the steel industry. He Wenbo, Executive Director of the China Iron and Steel Industry Association, said Tuesday at the twelve China Iron and Steel Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Forum hosted by the Metallurgical Industry Planning and Research Institute, the "low-carbon Work Promotion Committee of the Steel Industry" initiated by the China Iron and Steel Association is organizing the entire industry to work out a carbon peak road map and action plan, and to study a carbon quota allocation accounting plan, we will carry out research and development on low-carbon technologies common to steel, complete the standards for carbon emission verification and Testing of reference values in the steel industry, and establish a standard system for low-carbon development. He Wenbo revealed that so far, China's steel industry has initially completed the "carbon peak implementation plan for the steel industry, " the first draft, basically clear the industry's carbon peak path, key tasks and potential, is continuing to seek views from all parties. China's iron and steel industry accounts for about 15% of the country's total carbon emissions, and it is the manufacturing industry with the highest carbon emissions in China. There is an urgent need to reduce the carbon emissions of the whole society by accelerating the low-carbon transformation, to ensure the smooth realization of national carbon peak and carbon neutral target. At present, about 650 million tons of crude steel production capacity of 237 enterprises has been completed or is being implemented ultra-low emission transformation, accounting for about 61% of the country's crude steel production capacity. With the comprehensive spread of the transformation work, various contradictions and problems have also emerged. He Wenbo said that some iron and steel enterprises do not pay enough attention to the transformation of ultra-low emissions, lack of understanding of the complexity, there are problems such as the use of immature governance technology, weak will of environmental protection management, and inadequate implementation of pollution permits. In addition, he Wenbo said, non-key regions of the overall transformation of enterprises slower. Some enterprises do not understand the seriousness of evaluation and monitoring, and do not recognize the main responsibility of enterprises. Third-party custody is not strict, assessment and monitoring go through the motions, and even emissions monitoring data falsification and other fraudulent and illegal acts. In order to facilitate the achievement of carbon peak, carbon-neutral targets, this year the national level has repeatedly stressed the firm reduction of crude steel production. Liu Bingjiang, director-general of the Department of Atmospheric Environment of the Ministry of Ecological Environment, said at the forum that the reduction of crude steel production can not be evenly distributed, but should be coordinated with the reduction of production capacity. Whether steel enterprises are technological transformation or upgrading, the key is to reduce production capacity, not empty talk to production. As long as the capacity is there, it will be there. Can Not average everybody reduces, should to these environmental protection performance is poor, the energy consumption is high, moreover is the equipment quite poor, the whole removes. Even if the signal is very clear, the measures are very clear. "achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality is a tough battle, " said Li Xinchuang, chief engineer at the Institute of Metallurgical Industry Planning, the low-carbon development of China's steel industry still needs to deal with such severe challenges as time-critical task, weak basic capacity of technology and talents, uneven development level of different enterprises, obstacles to process structure optimization, insufficient coverage of green design products, etc. . On the carbon peak and carbon reduction path of China's iron and steel industry, Li Xinchuang's analysis should focus on six aspects. One is to promote green layout. For example, eliminate backward production capacity, BAN "TIAO steel" , promote clean means of transport, green product evaluation. Second, energy conservation and enhance energy efficiency. For example, the promotion and application of advanced energy-saving low-carbon technology, the implementation of intelligent management and control system. Third, optimize the use of energy and flow structure. For example, scrap recycling, process structure optimization. Fourth, the construction of circular economy industry chain. For example, in recent years, the Iron and steel industry has established a regional circular economy industrial chain with the surrounding communities and related industries, focusing on the efficient utilization of low-quality waste heat and increasing the utilization rate of by-product resources. Fifth, the application of breakthrough low-carbon technology. Low-carbon development in China's iron and steel industry depends on technological revolution, including carbon capture and storage technology, hydrogen reduction, oxygen-enriched blast furnace and so on. Sixth, strengthen the leadership with carbon, do a good job in system building and policy system protection. For example, "C + 4e" target system and support system, carbon trading support system, digital support system and standardized support system are established to further consolidate the basic capacity of low-carbon development.
