In February 2021, the crude steel output of 64 countries included in the statistics of the World Iron and Steel Association was 150.2 million tons, an increase of 4.1% year on year.
Top 10 countries in cumulative crude steel output in January-February 2021
In February 2021, China’s crude steel production is estimated to be 83 million tons, up 10.9% year on year;
India’s crude steel production was 9.1 million tons, down 3.1 percent year on year;
Japan’s crude steel production was 7.5 million tons, down 5.6 percent year on year;
U.S. crude steel production was 6.3 million tons, down 10.9 percent year on year;
Russian crude steel production is estimated at 5.7 million tons, down 1.3% year on year;
South Korea’s crude steel production was 5.5 million tons, up 1.2% year on year;
Turkey’s crude steel production was 3 million tons, up 5.9% year on year;
German crude steel production was 3.1 million tons, down 10.4% year on year;
Brazil’s crude steel production was 2.8 million tons, up 3.8 percent year on year;
Iran’s crude steel production is estimated at 2.3 million tons, up 11.5 percent year on year.
Iron and steel industry is one of the largest carbon emissions in the manufacturing industry, China’s steel industry carbon emissions account for more than 60% of global emissions of iron and steel, in the national development and planning, has explicitly put forward to reduce the proportion of long process in iron and steel production capacity, increase the proportion of short process of electric furnace steelmaking, the percentage requirement is now less than 10% to more than 15%, strive to achieve 20%.
Has become environmental indicator of tangshan, this year even as heavy-handed on steel emissions control, on March 19, tangshan government released A notice of the steel industry enterprises have their emission reduction measures, the draft from tomorrow until the end of the year, will be the whole process of the city of iron and steel enterprise (with the exception of shougang qianan region, shougang Beijing tang two grade A) to implement the corresponding restricting output reduction.
What needs to be concerned is that, under the increasingly strict environmental governance, Tangshan steel industry although the output increased a lot, but last year’s profit reached 30.27 billion yuan, down 20.5% compared with 2019. This year in most of the steel mills to kill the threat, it is estimated that the Tangshan steel industry in 2021, will be more sad.
Tangshan steel industry has been brilliant for 20 years, in the wave after wave of environmental governance, to retain the strong and weak, or will become inevitable, it is estimated that only those advanced environmental protection, product market competitiveness of steel mills, in order to survive in this wave of tide.
