A few days ago, the 2021 (12th) China Iron and Steel Development Forum was held in Beijing. At the meeting, Yin Ruiyu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that after decades of development and progress, China's steel industry per ton of steel energy consumption and carbon emissions have been in the international advanced level, but because of the huge crude steel production, the total carbon emissions of the industry is still large. Li Gao, director of the Department of Climate Change under the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, called on the steel industry, as an important supporting industry for China's economic development and a key industry for carbon emissions, to strengthen the consensus on carbon emission reduction, transform challenges into a driving force for high-quality development, and promote the industry's carbon emissions to peak as soon as possible with the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutral as the guidance.

In addition, the chief engineer li xinchuang metallurgy industry planning institute, said the steel industry is to accelerate the research of carbon and carbon reduction of peak action plan, including promoting green layout, the energy conservation and increasing energy efficiency, optimize energy and process structure, construction of circular economy industrial chain, the application of low carbon breakthrough technology, strengthen the system construction and policy system support, etc.
