The China Iron and Steel Association published an article stating that currently, the steel industry is forging ahead, overcoming difficulties, and is making every effort to push the industry towards a new green development. Recently, however, steel companies have concentrated on reflecting that in the process of implementing low-carbon and environmental protection work, some regions simply “one-size-fits-all” use restricted equipment in the national “Industrial Structure Adjustment Guidance Catalogue” as the threshold for elimination, and require enterprises to implement the expansion and transformation of restricted equipment or gradually withdraw it within a limited period of time. This move has caused great distress to the production and operation of a large number of steel companies, and has also had a great impact on the entire industry to overcome the current difficulties of declining market demand, strive to operate steadily, and promote high-quality development. The steel industry clearly opposed the simple “one-size-fits-all” approach in some regions. The restrictive requirements of the “Catalogue” are an important basis for the country to manage investment in new construction projects; it is not a basis for eliminating existing equipment. We should note that in recent years, under the guidance of national policies, most restricted equipment has greatly improved its environmental performance through the implementation of ultra-low emission modifications and extreme energy efficiency projects, making positive contributions to the green and low-carbon transformation of the steel industry.
