社会如何应对钢铁企业超低排放的挑战
在近日举办的“钢铁行业超低排放与碳中和”线上研讨会上，上海青悦、绿行太行、绿满江淮等6家环保组织联合发布了《钢铁行业超低排放第三方观察报告》（以下简称《报告》）。这份报告根据前期制定并公开征集意见修订后的观察指标，共对约800家企业展开了观察，并对其中64家企业进行了现场调研。
《报告》指出，当前钢铁企业超低排放执行中还存在如下问题：有组织排放还存在超标排放情况；无组织排放环节多，分布散，总量大，监管难，难追溯核查，比如运输环节运输量大，物料种类多。steel industry to achieve ultra-low emissions, it is necessary to upgrade and transform all production links (including raw material yards, sintering, pelletizing, coking, iron-making, steel-making, rolling steel and self-built power plants) in the entire process. The report shows that as of the fourth quarter of 2020, the biggest problem in organized emissions was that the basic work of pollution permits was not up to standard.
The report also found that there were issues with the accuracy and completeness of self-monitoring data. Only 27.94% of self-monitoring data from 768 steel enterprises was considered valid. Many enterprises had not released their monitoring data or had inconsistent information on their own monitoring platforms and pollution permit platforms.
According to Liu Chunlei from Shanghai Qingyue Environmental Protection Organization, these problems indicate a lack of transparency in reporting emissions data and compliance with regulations.
In terms of unorganized emissions management, several issues were identified: insufficient cleaning work for transport vehicles; incomplete coverage or dust suppression for various materials; and smoke escaping during production processes.
Only 15 steel companies have publicly announced their ultra-low emission transformation plans so far. According to Li Tao from the Environmental Center at China Metallurgical Industry Planning & Research Institute (CMIPRI), while some regions are making progress in transforming factories for ultra-low emissions implementation remains limited across many areas due to inadequate planning and investment strategies by local governments.
The report suggests that public interest groups should advocate for better regulation enforcement mechanisms at both national and regional levels based on public interest principles rather than simply relying on market-based incentives alone.
