“'Green Mountain is wealth, green development represents the general direction of the development of the times, and it is the fundamental plan for the high-quality development and sustainable development of the steel industry.” On July 5, Anyang Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Li Lijian, secretary of the party committee and chairman of Angang, said in a speech at the 2019 (2nd) China Green Steel Development and Ultra Low Emissions Summit Forum jointly sponsored by China Metallurgical News and Angang.

Li Lijian said that in the birthplace of Oracle, Anyang, the ancient capital of Yinshang, the second China Steel Industry Green Development and Ultra-low Emissions Promotion Summit Forum will be held to jointly discuss the green development and ultra-low emission realization path of the steel industry, which will effectively activate “green development”. "New kinetic energy, set off a new upsurge in the green revolution.

He introduced that Angang is located in the Central Plains and has a long history. After more than 60 years of hard work, it has developed into a modern steel group with an annual production capacity of 10 million tons. It is the largest production base of high quality sheet and high quality building materials in the Central Plains. Angang is sensitive in location and special in area. It is located in the “2+26” city circle and in the urban built-up area, and adjacent to the World Cultural Heritage Yinxu Protection Area, shouldering the dual pressures of environmental protection and cultural relics protection. In this regard, they have a clear understanding, a firm attitude, and a quick action. They have always adhered to green development as the lifeblood of political tasks, people's livelihood, and sustainable development of enterprises. They have practiced Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thinking in an in-depth manner and promote environmental governance in all aspects and processes.

Li Lijian further introduced that as early as 2014, Angang proposed to put "environmental protection as the second survival and defense war", and in the most difficult period of the industry, resolutely invested heavily in environmental protection. In 2017, Angang concentrated on investing more than 3 billion yuan, using the most advanced environmental protection technology in the modern era, and built a number of environmental protection projects covering all production processes, making Angang the first full-process dry dust removal and whitening in China. The iron and steel conglomerate, the main process to achieve ultra-low emissions, air pollution control has reached world-class, domestic leading level. Among them, coking desulfurization and denitration technology has independent intellectual property rights, and is rated as “international leading” level, which is promoted and applied in the whole industry. In 2018, Angang again invested 2.6 billion yuan to launch a new round of environmental protection and deep governance, and strive to create a new pattern of solid, water and gas three-dimensional governance. This year, it will achieve ultra-low emission and near zero of the whole process and the whole process. Emissions set a new benchmark for green development in the industry.

On the basis of deep-rooted treatment, Angang has invested 1.6 billion yuan since 2018. According to the 4A-level scenic spot standard, it has promoted the construction of “park-style and forest-style” garden chemical plant step by step, and signed the design of Angang Riverside Project of Yinxu National Park. The agreement integrates the construction of “gardening” factories into the planning of the Yinxu National Heritage Park, and is committed to creating a development pattern of first-class heritage parks and first-class steel enterprises. At present, the environmental management level of Angang has continued to improve, the gardening plant has begun to take shape, and pollutant emissions have been greatly reduced. Compared with 2014, the total emission reduction ratio is over 70%. On May 25, 2018, Chairman Li Zheshu visited Angang and fully affirmed the environmental protection work of Angang.

“Practice has proved that the traditional high-energy-consumption and high-pollution industries can be transformed into a harmonious coexistence with the city and a common prosperity with the society through the green transformation, and realize the gorgeous turn from the environmental “polluter” to the pollution ‘consumer’. Li Lijian said.

Li Lijian stressed: "In particular, in April this year, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment introduced ultra-low emission standards for iron and steel enterprises, and launched an unprecedented and unprecedented green revolution in the whole industry, which will promote the reshuffle of the steel industry and force steel companies to compete. Promote the transformation and accelerate the pace of green development."

He said that looking forward to the future, the green transformation of the steel industry has a long way to go. We will take this summit forum as an opportunity to achieve the goal of ultra-low emission and near-zero emissions, and implement Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thoughts into the whole process of enterprise production, jointly promote environmental protection technology innovation and technological progress, and accelerate the construction of green steel and beautiful. Steel, let the development of green become the most beautiful scenery on the road of "taking the exam" and offering gifts to the 70th birthday of the great motherland.
