"(Yicai Global) July 29 — Shanghai, which is home to the world’s largest steel
company, will accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the city’s steel
production processes in order to reduce greenhouse emissions and meet the
country’s carbon peaking and neutrality targets ahead of schedule.
Baowu Group, as the city’s representative case, is aiming to increase its scrap
ratio, or the proportion of raw materials used in the steelmaking process to
the metal output, to 30 percent by 2030 by improving its scrap recycling and
blast furnace performance, according to an action plan released by the
municipal government yesterday. The higher the scrap ratio, the more efficient
the steelmaking is.
In order to realize the country’s goals of achieving carbon peaking in 2030 and
carbon neutrality by 2060, the country’s steel industry has been instructed to
reach peak carbon emissions by 2025 and then cut emissions by 30 percent by
2030, Yicai Global has learned. This is expected to cut greenhouse gas
emissions by 420 million tons.
Baowu said previously that it plans to be ahead of schedule and achieve carbon
peaking in 2023 and carbon neutrality by 2050."
