Beijing has worked quietly to cut carbon emissions for several years, but its open pledge in 2020 to meet the country's lowest carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 has undoubtedly put more public pressure on the second-largest steel industry. the largest carbon source of emissions only after power generation from thermal coal.
During 2016-2020, China reduced steel production by 150 million tons per year, steel production in induction furnaces by 140 million tons per year and by more than 800 million tons per year for coal, which reduced carbon emissions, and China introduced "ultra-low emissions ”for the country's steel industry in May 2018 as part of efforts to reduce emissions of waste, including carbon.
Everyone strives for a green and low-carbon economic model, but saying it out loud highlighted the importance and illustrated Beijing's commitment and welcomed monitoring from China and beyond.
