China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has released a plan for the green development of its industrial sectors during the 14th Five-Year Plan period 2021-2025. According to the plan, by 2025, significant progress will have been made in the green and low-carbon transformation of China's industrial structure and production, with technologies and equipment for green development widely applied & efficiency in energy and resource utilization will be greatly enhanced and green development in the manufacturing sector will improve further by 2025, laying a solid foundation for the peaking of carbon emissions in industrial sectors by 2030. China aims to lower its carbon dioxide emissions by 18% and the energy intensity of its major industrial firms by 13.5% per unit of value-added industrial output by 2025. The intensity of major pollutant emissions in key sectors will be reduced by 10%. The plan rolls out specified measures and eight major projects to advance improvements in industrial sectors in terms of industrial upgrades, energy consumption with low-carbon emissions, and the recyclable use of resources, among other areas. It calls for efforts to curb the blind expansion of projects with high energy consumption or high emissions, enhance the utilization of industrial solid waste, and accelerate the improvement of green and low-carbon technologies.The plan proposes to implement technical and equipment transformations such as fine desulfurisation of coke oven gas, high-proportion pellet smelting, negative pressure distillation of coking, and optimisation of the entire coking process. By 2025, China is expected to complete the ultra-low emission transformation for 530 million tonnes of steel capacity and the clean production transformation for 460 million tonnes of coking capacity. In the column of “Efficient Resource Utilisation Promotion Project", the recycling of renewable resources is mentioned. China will build large-scale integrated centres for the environmental friendly sorting, treatment, and distribution of iron & steel scrap. Plan puts forward certain goals for the recycling and utilisation of renewable resources in 2025. As of 2025, China will strive to recycle and re-use 320 million tonnes of steel scrap
