First, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the revised Opinions on the Implementation Measures for Replacing Steel Production Capacity

On January 23, the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued by the 'about perfecting the steel production capacity of displacement and the project filing work notice (change hair [2020] no. 19), suspension of the public announcement, new steel capacity replacement plan and record new steel projects, urged all localities comprehensive carding filing steel production capacity of the project since 2016, and to carry out the self-check.

On July 24, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) issued the revised guidelines for the Implementation of Steel Capacity replacement, in which the equivalent replacement means that the construction capacity is equal to the withdrawal capacity. Reduction replacement means that the construction capacity is less than the output capacity; The replacement ratio refers to the ratio between the output capacity and the construction capacity.

On December 16, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) announced that it had revised the Implementation Measures for Capacity Replacement in the Iron and Steel Industry, and formed the Implementation Measures for Capacity replacement in the Iron and Steel Industry (Draft for Comments), and solicited public opinions from all sectors of society.

According to the 'recycled iron and steel Raw materials' national standard compilation group introduced, recycled iron and steel raw materials are waste iron and steel after classified recovery and processing treatment, can be used as iron resources directly into the furnace charge products. Compared with the use of iron ore, the use of recycled steel raw materials to make steel can significantly reduce pollutant emissions. Therefore, recycled iron and steel raw material is not only a renewable resource, but also the only iron resource that can replace iron ore. It is an important raw material for the green development of iron and steel industry.
