Overview interest facts - China Green Steel Summit 2023

Steel is the most commonly used metal in the world today and is commonly used in infrastructure construction and manufacturing of machinery, automobiles, aircraft, ships, home appliances and other products around the world. However, with the establishment of net-zero emission targets for governments and industries, the steel industry has become a focus of attention in terms of reducing carbon emissions. According to the World Steel Association, the steel industry accounts for 7 to 9 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions. As one of the industries hard-to-abate carbon, the steel industry is facing the huge challenge and pressure of tight schedules and heavy tasks regarding carbon emission reduction. While the highly recyclable green properties of steel materials make it an engine of green economy, supporting and promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of multiple industries and economies.
The 2nd China Green Steel Summit 2023 will focus on energy and raw material structure innovation, low-carbon innovation of traditional blast furnace technology route, new carbon reduction technologies such as hydrogen metallurgy and CCUS, deepening digitalization of the steel industry and other hot trending topics, providing a full range of energy-saving and carbon-reduction ideas and references for relevant experts of the steel industry, so as to better realize the green and low-carbon sustainable development of their own enterprises.
