中国钢铁行业脱碳融资:技术、政策和金融工具 | Financing the decarbonisation of China’s steel industry: technology, policy and instruments

对钢铁行业而言,2020至2030是实现《巴黎协定》气候目标的关键十年。中国现有的煤基高炉产能中,78%(约每年7.308亿吨)需在2030年前进行再投资。为实现低碳转型,钢铁行业需要大规模投资来开发和推广低碳钢铁生产技术。鉴于钢铁资产的寿命较长,这一轮投资周期需避免“碳锁定”效应,即资金流动需与《巴黎协定》气候目标保持一致。
本报告探讨了加速钢铁行业脱碳的技术路径,并阐述了转型金融如何支持钢铁行业脱碳。

Financing the decarbonisation of China’s steel industry: Technology, policy and instruments | 中国钢铁行业脱碳融资:技术、政策和金融工具

This decade is pivotal for the transition of the steel sector towards the targets set out in the Paris Agreement. In China, 78% (730.8 Mt/yr) of the existing coal-based blast furnace capacity will need reinvestment by 2030, demonstrating the magnitude of investment needed to develop and roll out low-carbon steelmaking technologies to transform the sector. Therefore, financial flows must be aligned with a Paris-compatible scenario to avoid lock-in, and be in place for the next investment cycle, given the longevity of steel assets.
