China's steel enterprises "carbon threshold"

China Product


"This message a lot of game elements. European steel joint rally in the European Union, for the negotiations in Copenhagen weight. It seems that the Chinese government announced plans to reduce emissions (by 2020 carbon dioxide per unit of GDP emissions down 40% from 2005 -45%), the EU some uneasiness. "


    In that letter from the European Iron and Steel Union, "challenge" message, a large state-owned steel enterprises in China to make the high-level response.


    November 26, the European Steel Union, said the hope that the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference will be participating in the decision-makers, to ensure that the developed countries and emerging market countries, the issue of global emission reduction agreement to the same standard, non-discriminatory. Adding that, if carbon emissions large industries, including China's steel industry, from carbon dioxide emissions reduction agreement constraints, to address climate change objectives will be difficult to achieve.

    However, the Chinese steel industry, which obviously has a completely different understanding.

    "Climatic Change, both scientific issues, but is a political issue. Industrial revolution, Western developed countries have emitted hundreds of years, and we discharged a few years. Iron and steel industry especially, they accumulated iron and steel consumption per capita is far more than we are only talking about the current responsibilities, is clearly misleading. If so, then we do not develop. "In an interview, Valin Iron & Steel [8.08-0.49%], general manager of Cao Huiquan said," and, now the world's oriented economic system, our emissions are closely related with the international division of labor. "


    In Cao Huiquan view, "we insist that developing countries bear the 'common but differentiated responsibilities', is certainly a reasonable response."


    However, "reduction" of the Chinese steel industry "will have significant and far-reaching impact", is the industry consensus. "I believe that the Government will introduce a more complete emission reduction measures." Iron and steel industry experts, former vice president of Shougang Development DAI Guo-qing said.


    Letter from the European Union of steel "war book"


    "No Chinese steel industry's efforts, global carbon dioxide emissions will continue to rise." November 26, expressing the expectations of the Copenhagen meeting, the European Union aimed at China Steel steel industry.


    European Steel Union, said: In the global context, China, India and Brazil and other emerging economies, the next few years of steel production growth is expected to top.


    December 1, the agency said another speaker, even if China achieved "in the 2020 carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP dropped 40% compared to 2005 -45%" target, "This will lead to 2020 China's carbon dioxide emissions will increase by 75% -90%, -68 million tons or 5.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions than the EU is even higher now. "


    As to the Chinese steel industry, the European Steel Union, said the Chinese steel industry's carbon dioxide emissions, more than the total emissions of the global steel industry, 50% of the 27 EU member states accounted for only 8%.


    Steel Union in Europe, the existing emissions reduction policies on the EU steel prices "not fair." On the one hand, they have to comply with the most stringent climate change policies, on the other hand, they face competition from international markets, especially China steel enterprises in the fierce competition.


    The EU said: "Compared with 1990, 2020, the EU steel prices by at least 20% reduction in carbon emissions. Now, the steel production is technically close to the limit, but we are still committed to a global reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and breakthrough technology in the study of additional investment. "


    The European Union's ultimate goal is to steel, "the signing of the agreement fair, the product must be in carbon emissions per ton on steel to create a level playing field for all the opportunities."
