To achieve carbon reduction and improve energy efficiency, Tianjin has pushed forward the comprehensive transformation of its iron and steel industry chain in recent years. Iron and steel producers are encouraged to reform their energy mix, upgrade technology and develop hydrogen-fuelled transportation. The iron and steel enterprises still in operation in Tianjin have all completed the ultra-low emission transformation. As a result, the energy consumption per unit of the increased value of industrial enterprises above designated size is in steady decline. (Xinhua/Zhao Zishuo)
