Potentials and methods of China´s iron and steel industry´s CO2 emission reduction under lowcarbon economy

The major sources of CO₂ emissions and the proportion of main producing processes in China´s iron and steel industry are analyzed and calculated by referring to its relevant technical and economic parameters in 2008. On this basis, the potentials of emission reduction by means of production structure adjustment, increasing industry concentration, technology reduction and other measures are estimated. Also, strategies and recommendations to reduce the CO₂ emission in iron and steel industry are proposed in this paper.
