Yuan Yuzhu, Chairman of Zhongyang Iron and Steel Group: Steel Enterprises Accelerate Energy Saving and Emission Reduction

As a high-consumption, high-pollution "big family", the iron and steel enterprises' energy-saving and emission-reduction effects are related to the overall energy-saving and emission-reduction effects of the entire society. Low-carbon and green development is more urgent for steel companies. “Using everything to make the best use of the net and squeezing out the net” is the fundamental aim of Zhongyang Iron & Steel to develop a circular economy and achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, said Yuen Yuzhu.

Yuan Yuzhu proposed to formulate energy-saving plans, carry out clean production throughout the entire process, actively introduce new energy-saving technologies, new processes and new equipment, and promote the optimization and upgrading of production processes. Adopt advanced and effective new energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies to reduce the consumption of hydropower coke and other resources, increase the use of waste heat and residual pressure, and fully utilize waste water and waste gas residues. Improve enterprise management standards and establish a sound energy-saving emission reduction monitoring system. The use of rewards and punishments leveraged and the role of the market to reward advanced energy-saving emission reduction companies, increase the cost of high-energy-consuming companies, and urge companies to accelerate the pace and energy-saving emission reduction efforts.
