The steel industry is promoting green and low-carbon transformation

China Iron and Steel Industry Association spoke highly of this: this is a major breakthrough in the core key technology innovation of hydrogen metallurgy, an important milestone in the history of China's steel and even the world's steel history from the traditional "carbon metallurgy" to the new "hydrogen metallurgy" transformation, leading the steel industry into the era of "hydrogen instead of coal" smelting "green steel".

According to Li Yiren, deputy general manager of Hesteel Group, Hesteel Group hydrogen metallurgy will continue to go deep and solid, the second phase of the project by playing the advantages of Zhangjiakou wind power and photovoltaic hydrogen production, will develop 600,000 tons of green hydrogen and hydrogen metallurgy project, to achieve the whole process of low-carbon green steel manufacturing. He Steel Group will build an annual output of 2× 1.3 million tons of hydrogen metallurgy project in Tangshan, by the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan" period will form an annual output of 3.8 million tons of clean steelmaking raw materials of hydrogen metallurgy capacity.

It is worth noting that at present, most iron and steel enterprises in China are still in the initial stage of low-carbon development. Different enterprises have different levels of green and low-carbon development, and their carbon reduction space and carbon emission reduction cost also have large gaps.

Xiong Zhe, director of the Carbon Peak Carbon neutral Policy Division of the Department of Resource Conservation and Environmental Protection of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that achieving the goal of "dual carbon" is a broad and profound systemic change that requires hard efforts from all walks of life and all aspects. It is hoped that the majority of steel enterprises will follow the trend of green and low-carbon development, closely integrate their own development with the national "dual carbon" strategic decision, effectively increase green and low-carbon technology innovation, business model innovation and management innovation, fulfill their social responsibilities, achieve new development in the realization of the "dual carbon" goal, and promote the green, low-carbon and high-quality development of the steel industry to a new level.
