Implementation Guidelines for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Transformation and Upgrading

According to the "Energy Efficiency Benchmark and Benchmark Levels in Key Fields of High Energy Consumption Industries (2021 Edition)", the energy efficiency benchmark level of a unit product of ferrosilicon alloy is 1770 kilograms of standard coal/ton, and the benchmark level is 1900 kilograms of standard coal/ton; The benchmark level of energy efficiency per unit product of manganese silicon iron alloy is 860 kilograms of standard coal per ton, and the benchmark level is 950 kilograms of standard coal per ton; The benchmark level of energy efficiency per unit product of high carbon ferrochrome alloy is 710 kilograms of standard coal per ton, and the benchmark level is 800 kilograms of standard coal per ton.

As of the end of 2020, about 4% of China's ferroalloy industry's production capacity had energy efficiency better than benchmark levels, and about 30% had energy efficiency lower than benchmark levels.

（1） Strengthen advanced technology research and cultivate benchmark demonstration enterprises.

Increase the promotion and application of new technologies, encourage the use of furnace material pre-treatment and fine feeding of raw materials, improve the hot melting performance of furnace materials, and reduce slag energy consumption. Promote advanced and applicable technologies such as dry gas dust removal, combined controllers, reactive power compensation and voltage optimization, and variable frequency speed regulation. Research and develop new technologies such as melt reduction, plasma furnace smelting, continuous casting and breaking, to improve production efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

Notice of Four Departments on Issuing the Implementation Guidelines for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Transformation and Upgrading in Key Fields of High Energy Consumption Industries (2022 Edition)

Development and Reform Industry [2022] No. 200

All provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government, and cities specifically designated in the state plan, as well as the Development and Reform Commission of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, the competent departments of industry and information technology, the departments (bureaus) of ecological environment, and the energy bureaus: in accordance with the relevant deployments of the "Several Opinions on Strict Energy Efficiency Constraints to Promote Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction in Key Fields" and the "Notice on Issuing the" Energy Efficiency Benchmark and Benchmark Levels in Key Fields of High Energy Consumption Industries (2021 Edition) ", In order to promote various relevant parties to scientifically carry out energy-saving and carbon reduction transformation and upgrading in key areas, the "Implementation Guidelines for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Transformation and Upgrading in Key Fields of High Energy Consumption Industries (2022 Edition)" is hereby issued, and relevant matters are notified as follows.

1、 Guiding transformation and upgrading

For enterprises with energy efficiency at the benchmark level, especially below the benchmark level, actively promote the advanced technology and equipment proposed in this implementation guide, green technology promotion catalog, industrial energy-saving technology recommendation catalog, and the "Energy Efficiency Star" equipment product catalog, strengthen energy system optimization, residual heat and pressure utilization, pollutant reduction, comprehensive utilization of solid waste, and renovation of public and auxiliary facilities, and improve the green level of production processes and technical equipment, Improve the efficiency of resource and energy utilization, and promote the formation of a strong domestic market.

2、 Strengthen technical research

Fully utilize the innovative resources of higher education institutions, research institutes, industry associations, and other units to promote the research of green common key technologies, cutting-edge leading technologies, and related facilities and equipment for energy conservation, pollution reduction, carbon reduction, and synergy. Promote backbone enterprises with energy efficiency reaching or approaching benchmark levels, adopt advanced cutting-edge technology and equipment to plan and construct demonstration projects, and lead the high-quality development of the industry.

3、 Promoting agglomeration development

Guide backbone enterprises to leverage their advantages in capital, talent, and technology, voluntarily carry out mergers and acquisitions in this field through methods such as selecting the best and replacing the worst, and capacity replacement. Concentrate on planning and constructing large-scale and integrated production bases, improve the level of process equipment and energy utilization efficiency, and build a development pattern with a reasonable structure, effective competition, and standardized order. It is not allowed to blindly expand production capacity and repeat low-level construction under the pretext of mergers and acquisitions.

4、 Accelerate the elimination of lagging behind

Strictly implement relevant laws and regulations on energy conservation, environmental protection, quality, safety technology, and policies such as the "Catalogue for Guiding Industrial Structure Adjustment", and eliminate outdated process technologies and production devices that do not meet the requirements of green and low-carbon transformation and development in accordance with the law and regulations. For production capacity whose energy efficiency is below the benchmark level and it is difficult to achieve above the benchmark level through transformation and upgrading within the specified time limit, we will promote its accelerated exit through market-oriented and legal means.
