The industrial complex of the Chinese manufacturer has been Tiangang from almost 600 football fields. It is noteworthy that trucks running through the territory of the complex work on hydrogen fuel, buildings at the facility are heated due to the residual heat from washing the slag, and each lamp at this facility is energy -saving.
These are only a few examples of how This steel factory reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
the metallurgical sector is the largest source of carbon emissions in China manufacturing, its average annual emissions reach 1.8 billion tons, which is about 15 percent. From the total volume of carbon emissions in the country. This is one of the sectors where the achievement of carbon neutrality is a particularly difficult task.
Despite numerous difficulties, Tianjin Iron & Steel Group Co., Ltd., also known as Tiangang, located in the North Chinese municipality Tianjin, safely I took the path of environmentally friendly development and managed to significantly limit carbon dioxide emissions.
, a significant amount of domain gas is formed in the production process. Due to the recent installation of a 100-megavat-generating installation, this gas is now used to generate electricity.
two-story installation operates 24 hours a day, absorbing residual gas and converting it to electricity.
"in The past gas was not used and was wasted, with a new installation, we can satisfy about a third of the general needs of the plant in electricity by converting electricity from this gas , ”said Yan Wei, carbon raw materials in Tiangang.
Ian Wei calculated that only this installation can save energy equivalent to 226,900 tons of standard coal per year, which will lead to a reduction in carbon emissions by 657,900 tons per year.
, in the meantime, on the roofs of the buildings of the Tiangang complex were installed photoelectric panels for the production of additional energy. According to forecasts, after the installation of all planned photoelectric panels, the total installed capacity will exceed 50 megavatts, which will be enough for the production of 52 million kWh of environmentally friendly electricity per year. This will significantly increase the share of environmentally friendly electricity in the Tiangang energy consumption structure.
energy efficiency at this facility has also increased due to the modernization of equipment. In recent years, many installations with high energy costs that have worked for more than 20 years have been replaced by low -carbon and environmentally friendly devices, HE Tsyan, responsible for energy in Tiangang. transition. The country plans to reach the peak of carbon dioxide emissions until 2030 and carbon neutrality until 2060.
In order to get closer to achieving these goals, China authorities plan to include steel industry in the national carbon market. After integration into the national carbon market, steel companies will have to accurately report on their emissions and buy additional quotas if their emissions exceed their share.
Tiangang, who has not yet participated in the national market, has been for several years A participant in the local carbon quota trade market in the Tianjin, and in 2023 she first achieved a positive balance on quotas for carbon emissions.
it is also worth noting that steel factories in China are no longer simply sources of environmental pollution. The entire complex of the Tiangang maternal company, New Tianjin Steel Group, was transformed into a picturesque tourist area that attracts schoolchildren to introductory excursions, allowing them to find out, "how steel was tempered.
lush meadows on the territory of the complex are dotted Iron and steel sculptures, some of which are created by artists, while others are metallurgists. At the same time, in the garden, located next to the final pipes of the agglomeration factory, animals such as parrots, rabbits and white geese are bred.
schoolchildren attending this complex, get acquainted with the most modern products and production processes Steel, and also get a practical opportunity to make their own handmade products from steel, which allows this complex to also serve as a place of informal training.
