Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: 2023 strive to achieve the use of scrap steel to reach 265 million tons

Green and low-carbon development is a global trend of sustainable development, Vice Minister of Industry and Information Technology Xin Guobin said on March 1. For China, speeding up green and low-carbon industrial development is also an important measure to promote new industrialization. For us, the focus of our work this year is to implement each and every one of them. We will work hard in four areas:
First, we will promote green manufacturing. We will study, formulate and issue guidelines on speeding up the green development of the manufacturing industry. We will provide guidance by category and implement policies by sector, establish a dynamically updated green technology catalog and project database, accelerate the spread and application of advanced technologies, and promote green upgrading of steel, building materials, light industry, textile and other industries. As Minister Kim mentioned in his answer to the first question, traditional industries are the foundation of our modern industrial system. These key industries are of great significance to promoting the green and low-carbon development of the whole industry. We will also improve the gradient cultivation mechanism, comprehensively promote green design of industrial products, foster green factories, green parks and green supply chains, further develop green manufacturing service providers, and step up efforts to revise relevant standards.
Second, we will implement special actions to conserve energy and reduce carbon emissions in industry. We will deepen energy conservation supervision and diagnostic services. Throughout the year, we aim to complete energy conservation supervision on 3,000 industrial enterprises and provide energy conservation diagnostic services to more than 1,000 specialized, specialized and new enterprises. At the same time, we will promote the high quality development of short process steel making in electric furnaces to drive and upgrade the level of industrial electrification. We need to establish and improve a public service platform for peaking carbon neutrality, carry out pilot projects to build green industrial microgrids and digital carbon management systems, further develop typical application scenarios, and accelerate the coordinated transformation of digital green. At the same time, we will strengthen benchmarking for energy efficiency and promote technological upgrading of energy conservation and carbon reduction in key industries.
Third, we will take actions to improve the quality and efficiency of resources through comprehensive utilization. We will further improve the recycling and utilization system of power batteries for new energy vehicles, promote the full coverage of traceability management, strengthen the standardized management of renewable resource industries such as scrap steel and paper, and cultivate hundreds of key enterprises for comprehensive utilization. By 2023, we will strive to achieve the utilization of scrap steel to reach 265 million tons. We will strengthen the large-scale utilization of complex and difficult-to-use industrial solid wastes such as phosphogypsum, and actively expand channels for comprehensive utilization. We will further focus on key water industries such as steel, petrochemical and chemical industries, and carry out trials to recycle waste water.
Fourth, we will foster new drivers of green growth. We will further strengthen the new-energy automobile industry, develop green aircraft in an innovative way, promote the electrification, green and intelligent upgrading of inland vessels, comprehensively enhance the photovoltaic and lithium power supply capacity, accelerate the construction of an industry standard system, and promote the innovative application of smart photovoltaic in industry, construction, transportation, communications and other fields. At the same time, great efforts will be made to develop industries such as hydrogen energy and environmental protection equipment, and promote the research and development and industrialization of bio-based new materials. Through these projects, we will further promote the realization of this year’s green development goal.
