Green Development
HBIS is committed to transform from "green manufacturing" to "Make green" and strive to be the leader of "green development".Since its establishment, HBIS has been upholding the philosophy of "human being and steel harmoniously coexist", and actively promoted “green” leading strategy, invested about 21.9 billion RMB to implement more than 500 projects of energy conservation and emissions reduction. Through elimination of backward production capacity, application of advanced technologies, and strengthening environmental management, the major energy and environmental indicators have reached domestic first-class even leading level. HBIS took the lead in the country to have achieved a full coverage of the sintering machine desulfurization facilities and sinter flue gas bypass all removed, was named “a successful example in creating clean production and green development for the iron and steel enterprises " by China Steel Association; its core enterprise was praised as “the world's cleanest steel plant” in the industry, held up as “resource-saving and environment-friendly business model” by the Ministry of industry and information technology, determined as the first batch of enterprises for Comprehensive Utilization of Resources “double hundred project” by the National Development and Reform Commission. With the project of "Replacing surface water with urban water and taking deep well water as the only water source for iron and steel production", HBIS has the only steel enterprise to win the World Steel Industry excellence in sustainability award in the domestic so far.
Ecological priority Green Development
We expand the input in R&D and upgrading of green technology so as to mitigate the environmental pollution and forge the world’s leading steel production technology that is energy conserving, clean and safe.
Low Carbon & Green Development Action Plan
HBIS earnestly implements the goals and requirements of "carbon peaking and carbon neutralization ", and develops Low Carbon & Green Development Action Plan centering on the development direction of energy technology innovation, process technology innovation and material technology innovation. HBIS carbon emission will peak in 2022 and 2050 carbon neutralization, carry out work in four stages: carbon peaking, steady decline, relatively significant decline and deep decarbonization.
Green Steel
High Efficiency Energy Saving
High Efficiency Energy Saving
HBIS has realized the sustainable development of the whole process by establishing harmless, reductive and resource-based technology route through recycling and industrial chain extension. Through the implementation of gas uptake heat recovery, pressure distribution gas recovery, ladle capping, heating furnace black body, optimization of turbine cold end, gas and steam combined cycle power generation, sub-critical power generation and other advanced energy saving technology, the energy saving management reached a new level. In recent years, HBIS has actively carried out energy efficiency benchmarking, strengthened production and operation control, and realized efficient utilization of energy and efficient recovery and utilization of secondary energy. In 2020, HBIS achieved a decrease of 1% in comprehensive energy consumption of per ton steel, a 4.8% increase in converter gas recovery of per ton steel, and the self-electricity ratio of core enterprises reached more than 60%. At present, the comprehensive energy consumption of per ton steel, self-electricity ratio and other indicators are at the advanced level in the domestic industry.
Environmental Protection
Environmental Protection
In 2020, HBIS invested nearly 1.579 billion yuan to implement 30 key energy conservation, emission reduction and pollution control projects, and focused on implementing a series of ultra-low emission transformation projects of sintering machine flue gas, coke oven flue gas, hot blast furnace, heating furnace, gas boiler, sintering flue gas circulation system, steel making dust removal, etc. The main pollutant index ranks the advanced level in the industry. In accordance with class A standards for environmental performance, HBIS had actively promoted ultra-low emission transformation, and made remarkable achievements in air pollution control. In 2020, the emissions of SO2, NOx and particulate matter of per ton steel decreased by 44%, 38% and 42% respectively. All the indicators have reached the best level of environmental performance green and high quality development index standard of steel enterprises in 2020 (SO2≤0.3, particulate matter ≤0.3, NOx≤0.65).
The Hydrogen Industry
The Hydrogen Industry
During the 14th Five-year Plan period, HBIS will vigorously develop the hydrogen energy industry, take the lead in the r&d and industrial application of hydrogen energy technology, leading the energy revolution in the industry. The first HBIS Pilot Hydrogen Station was completed and put into operation in August 2020. In cooperation with Italy Tenova, launched the world’s first Direct reduction iron by hydrogen-rich gases pilot project in Zhang Jiakou, taking advantage of the rich distributed energy advantages. Through the construction of hydrogen refueling stations for new energy vehicles, hydrogen metallurgy demonstration projects, the first batch of hydrogen heavy truck operation, to explore the best way for the world steel industry to develop low-carbon economy.
