MIIT Issues Standards on Energy Efficiency

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology published new standards on energy conservation activity covering sectors such as steel, electrolytic aluminum, synthetic ammonia, alkali, calcium carbide, cement and flat class. As these new standards were almost in parallel with the advanced level of each sector, relevant enterprises are required to brand them as a yardstick to reshape their own energy-related behaviors.

With regard to crude steel production, the secondary energy recycling ratio and its utilization ratio of a steel mill must be limited to 500 and 460 kgce/t respectively, and surplus heat, pressure and energy spewed out of the mill are supposed to be 50 percent recyclable for electricity generation.
