Scholars from the Environmental Engineering Evaluation Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of China, Beihang University, University College London and other institutions introduced real-time online monitoring system data to build a high-precision air pollutant emission database of Chinese steel plants, and multi-dimensional analysis and verification The emission status of air pollutants in China’s iron and steel industry.
The results of the study show that from 2014 to 2018, despite the increase in China’s steel production, China’s steel plants have reduced soot and sulfur dioxide emissions by 47% and 42%, respectively, and nitrogen oxide emissions through improvements in end treatment technology. Only up 3%.
Dr. Zhifu Mi, the co-corresponding author of the research report and University College London, said that China’s steel industry has achieved a lot of results in reducing carbon dioxide and a variety of major air pollutants, but it still faces challenges. In the future, we must implement pollution and carbon reduction. The principle of coordinated governance also needs to continue to make progress in energy structure adjustment, energy efficiency improvement, and elimination of backward production capacity.
