Discussion on several issues of carbon peak and carbon neutrality in China's steel industry under new situation
The process of global response to climate change is further accelerating,carbon themed trade rules and supply chain carbon neutral requirements continue to improve,green and low carbon development has become the high point of strategic competition in the global iron and steel industry.At the same time,the domestic requirements for the development of the new quality productive forces put forward,and further enriched the connotation of the green,low carbon and high-quality development of the iron and steel industry in the new era.On this basis,China's iron and steel industry low-carbon development practice from five aspects has been summarized,including industry top-level design,EPD platform construction,low-carbon emission steel standard formulation,extreme energy effi-ciency project promotion,and low-carbon frontier technology research and development promotion,and has ana-lyzed the historical process of carbon emission in China's iron and steel industry from 1991 to 2022.The results show that China's iron and steel industry has achieved significant carbon reduction during the past 30 years.Through the analysis of the low-carbon development roadmap,it is believed that China's iron and steel industry has entered the platform of peak carbon emissions around 2010 and will continue to 2030,and has begun to step into a new era of green and low-carbon development.In the future,if all kinds of carbon reduction measures are reasonably adopted,the steel industry CO2 emissions will steadily decrease,and it will be about 100 Mt in 2060,and further rely on CCUS and carbon sinks to achieve"carbon neutrality".In the process of implementing the"dual carbon"work in China's iron and steel industry in the future has been pointed out,the key issues such as capacity management and industrial layout,the development of all-scrap electric furnace process,the utilization of new energy,the research and development of subversive low-carbon technology,and the basic capacity building of carbon management are worthy of great attention.These issues are discussed and analyzed,and corresponding solution measures and policy construction are proposed.
