| Abstract: | The process structure of China′s steel industry is dominated by the BF BOF steelmaking process, and the energy structure is dominated by coal, which causes CO2 emissions per ton product higher than the world average level, and the pressure of CO2 emission reduction is great. In order to explore the low carbon status and development trend of China′s steel industry, multiple perspectives such as production process structure, scrap resources, low carbon technology and carbon trading market were analyzed deeply, coming to the conclusion that achieving the “dual carbon” goal of CO2 emissions peak before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060 is a long term and multi factor comprehensive process, the steel industry should establish different research priorities at different stages. At the same time, suggestions for further development are put forward. In the next step, China′s steel industry should accelerate the development of low carbon technology, increase the proportion of EAF steelmaking process, pay attention to the research and development of hydrogen metallurgy technology, and give full play to the role of policy and market regulation, finally get rid of the dependence of carbon metallurgy and embark on the road of low carbon steel. |
