China Strives for Greener Steel Production

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--In order to actively respond to the Chinese government's 2030 "carbon peak" goal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the process of steel production, iron and steel enterprises have conducted research on hydrogen metallurgy technology, hoping to achieve green and low-carbon production by using hydrogen instead of carbon.

Hydrogen-based ironmaking is about to become a hot trend in the future development of China's steel industry. Up to now, two hydrogen-based smelting projects have been launched in China. The Zhanjiang project of Baosteel (Shanghai, Cjhina) is still under construction and is expected to be put into operation by the end of the year.

Recently, Qingdao Special Steel announced that it will build a 1 million-ton hydrogen-based direct-reduced iron project to cope with the increasingly stringent carbon reduction requirements in China.
