一季度钢铁行业运行平稳 141家企业完成超低排放改造

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese steel industry is experiencing stable production and operational performance in the first quarter of the year, with significant year-on-year growth in steel output, laying a solid foundation for positive development throughout the year [1]. Group 1: Production and Performance - In the first quarter, China's steel production exceeded 350 million tons, marking a year-on-year increase of 6.1% [1]. - The crude steel production reached 259 million tons, with a growth of 0.6%, while pig iron production was 216 million tons, up by 0.8% [1]. - The China Iron and Steel Association indicated that the industry's operational performance has improved compared to the previous year [1]. Group 2: Industry Transformation and Environmental Initiatives - The steel industry is currently in a critical period of transformation and upgrading, focusing on green and low-carbon development [1]. - As of April 20, 2025, 141 steel enterprises have completed ultra-low emission transformations, covering crude steel capacity of approximately 591 million tons [3]. - The industry is shifting from a linear "resource-product" model to a closed-loop model of "resource-product-recycled resource" [3]. Group 3: Future Goals and Achievements - By the end of this year, key regional steel enterprises are expected to complete their ultra-low emission transformations, establishing the world's largest clean steel production system [4]. - Over the past year, China has eliminated 300 million tons of outdated steel production capacity, with over 45% of crude steel capacity undergoing ultra-low emission transformations, significantly reducing major pollutants by over 75% [4]. - The goal is for over 80% of steel production capacity to complete the transformation by the end of 2025 [4].
