PAO Severstal, one of the world's largest vertically integrated
steel and mining companies announces its investment plan in
environmental project for the year 2020 - about 1.1 billion rubles. "Severstal"
implements a systematic program to reduce the impact on the environment
using large-scale ecological re-equipment of fixed assets.
the Cost of implementation of investment projects of an ecological orientation in
2020 at the Cherepovets metallurgical plant (CHerMK) has 671
million. Key projects in the direction of the air protection activities
will be the technical re-equipment of branch of preparation of solid fuel
sintering plant No. 3. The event is part of the Federal project "Pure air",
which is part of the national project "Ecology". The expected reduction in emissions.
carbon monoxide will be 5,846 thousand tons.
Also in 2020 consoildation the production of CHerMK will be executed
metrological certification of the system of controlling the composition of exhaust gases from
sintering machines. The purpose of the installation of automatic control system composition of the exhaust
gas – operational management of technology agglomeration. For this, the specialists in
the online mode will measure the process parameters and the concentration of
specific agroproizvodstve substances. The expected reduction in emissions.
contaminants after the system is installed and operative management
technology agglomeration will amount to 2,579 thousand tons.
"Severstal-metiz" plans to implement investment projects in the amount of 30
million rubles at the site of Orlovsky steel rolling plant. The main volume of
investments aimed at improving production technology, which will allow
to reduce the load on the environment, mainly by reducing acidic
drains.
Investments in the Severstal resources division in 2020 will be at level 406
million. So, Vorkutaugol, this year, will receive 87 million for the full
or partial modernization of treatment facilities at all operating mines and
the Vorkuta mechanical plant.
Investing in the environment to "Alcon" are planned for this year in the amount of 39 million
dollars: replacing the six vacuum systems (a total of 17 and
full replacement will be made during the three subsequent years) in buildings
crushing processing plant. Also investments will be directed to the
construction of treatment plants with modern treatment systems
releases of wastewater in the career name of XV-anniversary of October and Komsomolsky
career.
In 2020, "Karelian Okatysh" starts the construction of a pilot
sulfur removal unit that will capture the sulfur dioxide generated
after firing of the pellets. The company also runs two projects in the framework of
water conservation: purification of mining water with the help of natural
component substrate of peat and the construction of a closed loop compartment
tailings to reduce discharges into water bodies. These projects are
designed for several years. Only in 2020, "Karelian pellet" to invest in
the environment more than 193 million rubles.
Investing Yakovlevsky GOKa in the current year amount to 87 million
rubles, while the key project will be the identification of technologies for the purification of mine
waters. Currently Jakovleski GOK talks design
experienced photoacustic structures. After the industrial test will be
made a decision about the effectiveness of this technology and its further implementation.
"a Key aspect of the company "Severstal" - the balance between the
economic objectives and environmental responsibility. All our investment
the projects include evaluating the impact on the environment, and
the list of events that allow this effect to be minimized. For example,
at the end of last year, the division "Severstal Russian steel" cut
quantity of emissions of polluting substances into the atmosphere 391,7 million tons in 2018
year to 277,5 thousand tons in 2019. The equivalent figures for resource asset
213 thousand tons against 220 thousand tonnes in 2018. Implemented in the projects
contribute to further improvements in environmental performance. Openness and
transparency in the field of environmental responsibility is a necessary element
of interaction with stakeholders. Severstal will continue
to adhere to the information transparency in part of the ongoing activities and
results. In particular, the program of Step up, supervised
Worldsteel. This project will allow the Cherepovets steelworks to conduct
research with the use of the benchmarking system Worldsteel and to identify
opportunities to reduce CO2 emissions," commented CEO
"Severstal" Alexander Shevelev.
