The industrial structure has been continuously optimized.

Adhere to green and low carbon.

（5） New steel production capacity is strictly prohibited..

The process structure was significantly optimized, and the proportion of electric furnace steel output in the total output of crude steel was increased to more than 15%.

Coordinate supply guarantee, green and low-carbon, resource security and industry development, follow the development law of the iron and steel industry, maintain the stability and foresight of the capacity removal policy, and improve the adaptability and effectiveness of supply and demand.

Optimize production capacity regulation policies, deepen the reform of factor allocation, strictly implement production capacity replacement, prohibit new steel production capacity, support the good and eliminate the bad, encourage cross regional and cross ownership mergers and acquisitions, and improve industrial concentration.

Promote the construction of public service innovation platforms and innovation centers in the industry by means of “exposing the list and taking the lead”.

Focus on key common technologies such as low-carbon metallurgy, clean steel smelting, thin strip casting and rolling, high-efficiency rolling, process control based on big data, energy conservation and environmental protection, as well as general-purpose special equipment and parts such as advanced electric furnace, special smelting and high-end testing.

The supply capacity of high-end iron and steel products has been greatly enhanced, the variety and quality have been upgraded, and about 5 key iron and steel materials have been exceeded every year, forming a number of enterprise brands and product brands with great international influence.

Adhere to the combination of total amount regulation and carbon reduction through scientific and technological innovation, adhere to the combination of source treatment, process control and end treatment, comprehensively promote the transformation of ultra-low emissions, and comprehensively promote the coordinated treatment of pollution and carbon reduction.

Resource security has improved significantly.

（2） Adhere to the basic principles of innovation and development.

The R & D investment intensity of the industry will strive to reach 1.5%, and breakthroughs have been made in advanced processes and technologies such as hydrogen metallurgy, low-carbon metallurgy, clean steel smelting, thin strip casting and rolling, endless rolling and so on.

*** Take reform and innovation as the fundamental driving force, give full play to the decisive role of the market in resource allocation, give better play to the role of the government, accelerate the quality reform, efficiency reform and power reform of the iron and steel industry, ensure the safety and stability of the industrial chain and supply chain, and promote the overall improvement of quality and efficiency.

The numerical control rate of key processes reaches about 80%, the digitization rate of production equipment reaches 55%, and more than 30 intelligent factories are built.

Green and low-carbon will be further promoted.

These opinions are formulated to implement the 14th five year plan for national economic and social development of the people’s Republic of China and the outline of long-term objectives for 2035, the opinions of the State Council on resolving excess capacity and realizing poverty relief development of the iron and steel industry, the 14th five year plan for the development of raw material industry and other documents, and better promote the high-quality development of the iron and steel industry.

Lifting Foot Anchor

Encourage qualified regions to build an innovation platform for the iron and steel industry and actively strive for a national innovation platform.

The ability to innovate has been significantly enhanced.

During the 13th Five Year Plan period, China’s iron and steel industry further promoted the supply side structural reform, achieved remarkable results in resolving excess capacity, made a more reasonable industrial structure, made positive progress in green development, intelligent manufacturing and international cooperation, and effectively supported the healthy development of economy and society.

Adhere to overall planning and coordination.

Give full play to the role of new material production and application demonstration platform, establish and improve the upstream and downstream cooperation mechanism of new steel materials in key fields, and build industrial alliances in key fields.

We will build a resource recycling system for coupled development among industries, complete ultra-low emission transformation of more than 80% of steel production capacity, reduce comprehensive energy consumption per ton of steel by more than 2%, and reduce water consumption intensity by more than 10%, so as to ensure that the carbon peak will be reached by 2030.

Supply quality continued to improve.

The layout structure has become more reasonable, and the supply and demand of the steel market has basically reached a dynamic balance.

Adhere to total amount control.

6, the competent departments of industry, information technology, development and reform and ecological environment of all provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government and Xinjiang production and Construction Corps, and relevant central enterprises: the iron and steel industry is an important basic industry of the national economy, It is an important support for building a modern power and an important field for realizing green and low-carbon development.

（3） The main goal is to basically form a high-quality development pattern of reasonable layout and structure, stable resource supply, advanced technology and equipment, prominent quality brand, high intelligence level, strong global competitiveness, green, low-carbon and sustainable by 2025.

2、 Main tasks (4) enhance the ability of innovation and development.
