Description
Summary:In response to the national energy-saving and emission-reduction policy, the development status of iron and steel industry in Shandong province has been investigated in this paper. On this basis, the existing problems were analyzed and carbon emission coefficients method was used to calculate the carbon emissions in Shandong's iron and steel industry in 2005-2008. The result indicated that the carbon emissions showed upward trend overall in 2005-2008 and there were still spaces for cutting down carbon emissions. Finally, according to the above analysis, the carbon emission reduction approaches were proposed, including improving the technical equipment and equipment capacity, optimizing process, decreasing iron-steel ratio and optimizing energy structure. It is essential for the relevant governments to make scientific and rational decision-making and further to lay a theoretical foundation for realizing the target of sustainable and low-carbon economic development in Shandong's iron and steel industry.
