Scenar i o Analys is on Energy Consumption and CO2 emission of Iron and Steel Industry in China through 2030

摘要

China is the world's largest crude steel producer since 1996 and six of the Chinese steel producing companies are listed among the world's top 20 steel producers in 2009. China produced over 572 million tonnes of crude steel, representing 47 percent of the world's steel producer and over 6 times as much as the world's second steel producer, Japan. As the iron and steel (I&S) industry is an energy intensive industry, it consumed around 16.3 percent of total energy consumption of China but only contributed around 3.2 percent of total GDP in China. Along with rapid urbanization and industrialization, the energy consumption of I&S industry has dramatically increased from 4.26EJ in 2000 to 13.99EJ in 2009.
