China's steel industry's competitiveness and ability to resist risks have been significantly enhanced

On July 20, Zhang Longqiang, Secretary of the Party Committee and Dean of the Institute of Metallurgical Industry Information Standards, was invited to attend the carbon neutralization standardization training meeting for the steel industry in Shandong Province to discuss the operation of the steel industry, the new situation of green and low-carbon development, and the standardization of the steel industry And so on, make a special report.

Dean Zhang Longqiang first analyzed the current operating situation of the steel industry, and put forward his opinions on the development trend of the whole year. He pointed out that in the first half of the year, the global economic growth slowed down, the domestic epidemic spread in many places, the downstream steel demand was not released in a timely and effective manner, and the downward pressure on the steel market increased; in the second half of the year, with the implementation of a package of economic stabilization policies and production reduction work The orderly advancement of the steel market will jointly promote the balance of supply and demand in the steel market from both sides of supply and demand. Compared with the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, China's iron and steel industry has significantly enhanced its competitiveness and ability to resist risks, and has the confidence and ability to cope with the impact of the international situation and the epidemic. Throughout the year, the operation of the steel industry will show a trend of rising after high, high and low levels, and it will remain profitable, but it will drop significantly year-on-year. Looking forward to the future, the steel industry will enter three comprehensive and critical ten years, namely, the production and consumption will reach their peak in an all-round way, building a strong steel country in an all-round way, and leading the world in steel in an all-round way.

Dean Zhang Longqiang pointed out that in the process of low-carbon development of the steel industry, different carbon-reduction paths, such as energy efficiency improvement, structural adjustment, and low-carbon technological innovation, have different contributions to carbon reduction at different stages. Industrial ecosystem models such as trading, logistics and transportation, and industrial finance will be the only way for green and low-carbon development. He said that it is necessary to scientifically grasp the green and low-carbon development situation of the steel industry. At this stage, enterprises should focus on improving energy efficiency, carry out low-carbon development planning and carbon asset assessment in an orderly manner, actively participate in the establishment of a green and low-carbon development standard system, and conduct solid carbon footprint accounting. , consolidate the research foundation of hydrogen metallurgy, promote the implementation of intelligent manufacturing, and promote the creation of A in environmental performance.

Combining the current status of domestic and foreign standards in the dual-carbon field, as well as the development trend of low-carbon technology and the development needs of the industrial field, President Zhang Longqiang focused on the staged construction goal of the dual-carbon field standard system: by 2023, the initial establishment of carbon peak carbon in the industrial field will be established. Neutralize the standard system, focusing on formulating standards for basic general use, accounting verification, low-carbon technology and equipment, etc., to provide technical support for carbon assessment and carbon emission reduction in the industrial field; by 2025, a relatively complete carbon peak in the industrial field will be formed Carbon-neutral standard system, accelerate the formulation of low-carbon technology and equipment, carbon emission management, and low-carbon evaluation standards, achieve full coverage of standards in key industries and key fields, promote deep carbon reduction in industrial fields, and guide low-carbon and high-quality development of related industries.
