China Baowu, the World's Largest Steel Company, Issues a Carbon Reduction Declaration
全球最大钢企中国宝武发布碳减排宣言

In 2021, the low-carbon metallurgical roadmap will be released, and in 2023, we will strive to achieve carbon peaking. In 2025, we will have the technological capability to reduce carbon by 30%. This is the carbon emission reduction target announced by China Baowu Party Committee Secretary and Chairman Chen Derong at the Fifth National Committee (Expanded) Meeting of the First China Baowu Party Committee and the 2021 Cadre Conference held on January 20.

General Secretary Xi Jinping made a solemn commitment to the international community at the 75th United Nations General Assembly, the G20 Leaders Summit in Riyadh and the Climate Ambition Summit: China's carbon dioxide emissions will peak by 2030, and strive to reach a peak by 2060. achieve carbon neutrality.

As a highly energy-intensive industry, the iron and steel industry is the largest producer of carbon emissions in 31 categories of manufacturing, accounting for about 15% of the total national carbon emissions. In recent years, although the steel industry has made great efforts in energy conservation and emission reduction, and the carbon emission intensity has declined year by year, the pressure of total carbon emission control is still huge due to the large volume and the particularity of the process.

With the vision of "becoming a global leader in the steel industry", China Baowu is the world's largest steel enterprise. Standing on the starting point of starting the new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country and marching toward the second centenary goal, Baowu proposes to achieve the goal of "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality" in advance. It shows the determination and mission of China Baowu to build "the treasure of the country" and "the treasure of the town and the country", and the responsibility and responsibility of carrying out the concept of green development and building ecological civilization.

To achieve carbon emission reduction targets ahead of schedule, China Baowu will intensify its actions:

To open up the low-carbon development path of the steel industry with scientific and technological innovation

To achieve the ultimate carbon use efficiency with wisdom and quality, take carbon reduction as the "ox nose" of source governance, optimize the energy structure, and increase investment in energy conservation and environmental protection technologies

Establish the carbon reduction awareness of the whole staff

China Baowu will step up its efforts to meet its carbon reduction targets ahead of schedule.

To open up the low-carbon development path of the steel industry with scientific and technological innovation. Establish the global low-carbon metallurgy innovation alliance, and build a globally oriented low-carbon metallurgy innovation technology exchange platform; Establish a 1+N open R&D innovation model to carry out research on forward-looking, disruptive and radical innovative technologies in the iron and steel industry; To build a low-carbon metallurgy innovation test base facing the world, promote technological cooperation in the upstream and downstream iron and steel industry chain, and boost the sustainable development of the iron and steel industry.

To achieve the ultimate carbon use efficiency with wisdom and quality. It will break the boundaries of time and space, cross the boundaries of management, promote the interconnection and sharing of processes, realize the efficient utilization of resources and energy, and provide the society with greener and better quality steel and related new materials.

We will take carbon reduction as the main source of governance, optimize the energy structure, and increase investment in energy conservation and environmental protection technologies. We will increase the proportion of natural gas and other clean energy sources, increase the use of solar, wind, biomass and other renewable energy sources, expand the hydrogen energy industry, and promote a clean and low-carbon energy mix. We will continuously improve the thermal efficiency of furnaces and kilns, dig deep the recovery potential of surplus energy, improve the efficiency of energy conversion and utilization, significantly reduce the intensity of energy consumption, and strictly control the total amount of energy consumption.

Establish the carbon reduction awareness of the whole staff. Promote the development of low-carbon life for all employees, encourage green travel, CD action, garbage sorting, afforestation, video conferencing and other low-carbon actions.

2021年发布低碳冶金路线图,2023年力争实现碳达峰,2025年具备减碳30%工艺技术能力,2035年力争减碳30%,2050年力争实现碳中和。这是中国宝武党委书记、董事长陈德荣在1月20日举行的中国宝武党委一届五次全委(扩大)会暨2021年干部大会上宣告的中国宝武碳减排目标。

习近平总书记在第七十五届联合国大会、二十国集团领导人利雅得峰会和气候雄心峰会上,向国际社会作出庄严承诺:中国二氧化碳排放力争于2030年前达到峰值,努力争取2060年前实现碳中和。

作为能源消耗高密集型行业,钢铁行业是制造业31个门类中碳排放量的大户,占全国碳排放总量15%左右。近年来,尽管钢铁行业在节能减排上付出很大努力,碳排放强度逐年下降,但由于体量大和工艺流程的特殊性,碳排放总量控制压力仍十分巨大。

以“成为全球钢铁业引领者”为愿景的中国宝武是全球最大的钢铁企业,站在开启全面建设社会主义现代化国家新征程、向第二个百年奋斗目标进军的起点上,提出力争提前实现“碳达峰”“碳中和”目标,昭示了中国宝武全力打造“国之重器”、铸就“镇国之宝”的决心和使命,践行绿色发展理念、建设生态文明的责任与担当。

为提前实现碳减排目标,中国宝武将加大行动力度:

以科技创新打通钢铁行业低碳发展路径

以智慧化、精品化实现极致的碳利用效率把降碳作为源头治理的“牛鼻子”,优化能源结构、加大节能环保技术投入

树立全员减碳意识
