Hebei stimulates new momentum for high-quality development (High Quality Development Research Tour) Green | Construction | Hebei

At the beginning of the year, the land of Yan and Zhao wrote a new chapter——

Along the coast of the Bohai Sea, traditional steel enterprises have ushered in a new life through relocation and upgrading;

In the central Hebei Plain, relying on independent innovation for research and development, the biopharmaceutical industry is flourishing;

On the Zhangbei Dam, rows of photovoltaic panels shine brightly, and hundreds of meters high wind turbines rotate in the wind, turning infinite "scenery" into green kinetic energy;

.

Green production, achieving new breakthroughs in the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries

Eat scrap steel and produce new steel. Entering the electric furnace workshop of Hebei Iron and Steel Group's Shigang Company, various types of scrap steel were added to the electric furnace through overhead cranes. After passing through the electric furnace, it melted into fiery red molten steel, which flowed into the ladle through the tapping hole and then sent to the refining workshop.

Move out of the city and upgrade accordingly. In 2020, Shigang Company relocated from the urban area of Shijiazhuang to the Industrial Park of Jingxing Mining Area. It changed from a long process process using coke and ore to a short process using electricity and scrap steel for direct steelmaking. Equipment upgrades and process updates. "By adopting a greener and more environmentally friendly short process steelmaking, we can turn waste into treasure and achieve a reduction of over 75% in pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and particulate matter at the same production scale." Chen Wenyin, the first level business manager of the Environmental Protection Department of Shigang Company, introduced that last year the company was promoted to an A-level environmental performance enterprise, and this year it has been rated as a national level green factory.

Phoenix Nirvana, Green Transformation. The transformation of Shigang is a microcosm of Hebei's promotion of the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries such as steel.

In the past, Hebei's industry was dominated by one steel industry, with a heavy economic structure. How can we "break through the encirclement"?

We will resolutely, proactively adjust, and accelerate the transformation to overcome difficulties and reduce production capacity. Hebei has made up its mind to reduce its steel production capacity from 320 million tons at its peak to within 200 million tons today, and expand the scope of production capacity reduction to six industries such as coking and cement, all of which have completed their prescribed tasks as scheduled.

Green and low-carbon promotion of transformation, Hebei focuses on traditional industries such as steel and petrochemicals, carries out special actions for high-end, intelligent, and green technological transformation, and revitalizes traditional industries. At present, all steel enterprises in Hebei Province have completed ultra-low emission transformation. Last year, Hebei also took the steel industry as a breakthrough point and carried out environmental performance A in seven key industries, leading enterprises in green transformation.

Green production and high-end products. The sound of machines roared as blocks of ultra-high strength wear-resistant steel plates slowly slid down the production line in the production workshop of Hanbao Hot Rolling Plant of Hebei Iron and Steel Group. "This is our newly developed product that will be used to manufacture wide body mining car carriages, which can reduce the weight of the carriages by 20% to 45%," said Liu Hongyan, a senior engineer at Handan Iron and Steel Company.

In recent years, Handan Iron and Steel Company has removed low-end production capacity and continued to develop high-end new products urgently needed in the automotive steel market, significantly improving efficiency.

In April this year, the specialized production line of Shougang Zhixin Electromagnetic High Performance Oriented Electrical Steel was put into operation in Qian'an City, Hebei Province. This is a specialized production line for 100% thin specification, high magnetic induction oriented electrical steel. "At present, our electrical steel products are applied to transformers, and each unit can reduce power loss by 7600 kilowatt hours per year," said Zhao Songshan, Assistant General Manager of Shougang Zhixin Qian'an Electromagnetic Materials Co., Ltd.

A piece of steel reflects the new industrialization path of a province. In recent years, the "gold content", "new content", and "green content" of Hebei steel products have been continuously increasing. Hebei Province has issued a work plan to promote the high-quality development of 9 industrial leading industries, including advanced steel, to support enterprises in carrying out technological innovation and enhancing product added value; Build a green manufacturing system and create a total of 157 national level green factories.
