Considering the current situation and making systematic planning to promote the transformation, upgrading, and high-quality steel development
"China's steel industry, with its powerful strength, has become a key driving force for global steel technology progress. Although we are in a special period of development and facing many difficulties and challenges, with our own capabilities and a huge consumer market, we are fully capable of overcoming difficulties and jointly welcoming a new era of steel development."On November 25th, the 19th China Steel Industry Chain Market Summit was held in Beijing, He Wenbo, Executive Chairman of the China Iron and Steel Association (CISA), delivered a keynote speech titled "Effectively Promoting the Transformation, Upgrading and High quality Development of the Steel Industry through a Systematic Planning Based on Current Situation", sharing his thoughts on the future transformation of the steel industry.
In his speech, He Wenbo first introduced five aspects in promoting steel green and low-carbon development:
First is ultra-low emission. "Our environmental standards are already world-leading, and environmental technology-economic assessment is also ongoing." He Wenbo said, "We have won the battle to protect the blue sky, and next we will win the market defense war." Second is ultimate energy efficiency. He Wenbo said that low-carbon development should start from the foundation and data. Since its launch in December last year, the ultimate energy efficiency work has been smoothly progressing, and more and more enterprises have reached the energy efficiency standard. Third is to starting the work plan for revising and upgrading China's steel carbon neutrality vision and technical roadmap, including deploying and implementing breakthrough low-carbon technologies, keeping pace with global steel green development. Fourth is to improving the steel industry environmental product declaration (EPD) platform to achieve effective accumulation and public transparency of industry environmental data and actively promote international recognition. Fifth is to accelerating the research process of low-carbon emission steel standards to play China's role in global steel green development.
