Through the implementation of measures included in the federal project Clean Air for 2018-2020 emissions of pollutants from the Cherepovets Metallurgical Enterprise were reduced by 35.9 thousand tons, which is more than 12% of the level of emissions in 2017. During these years, 13 activities were carried out within the framework of the project, most of them in coke oven and steel-making industries continue. Costs for the implementation of activities for the period from 2018 and including 9 months amounted to RUB 7.1 billion.”Severstal intends to achieve the main goal of the large program of measures of the Clean Air project, within the framework of which the company's emissions will be reduced by 66.8 thousand tons by 2025 at CherMK, i.e. by 22.5% of the company's emissions in 2017At present, CherMK is completing the reconstruction of the solid fuel preparation unit in sinter shop No 3, stage-by-stage replacement of electrostatic precipitators of the aspiration air purification system in sinter shop No 3 is being carried out.In addition, according to the results of the work of CherMK for 9 months of 2021, it was possible to reduce the discharge of pollutants into water bodies by 14.5% compared to the same period last year. The decrease was achieved due to the implementation of measures for the technical reorganization of the water supply and wastewater disposal system of crushing and screening plants No 4 and 5. The volume of disposed waste was significantly reduced by 35.3% due to an increase in the sale and disposal of blast furnace sludge, an increase in soil utilization, and the processing of reinforced concrete waste by the company's scrap-processing asset, OOO Severstal-Vtorchermet.
