Starting from 2021, China launched a carbon emissions trading system, and CBAM will be fully implemented in 2026. Laws and regulations aimed at carbon neutrality will continue to be introduced, resulting in increasingly higher carbon costs for steel companies with traditional processes. As the world's largest steel producer, China is also constantly introducing a national carbon pricing mechanism. The international trade environment is complex and changeable, and is affected by a variety of factors such as trade policies and tariff barriers. At the same time, China's steel industry has entered an era of reduced development and stock optimization. High-end, intelligent and low-carbon transformation is the only path for steel companies. Under the current difficult situation of the steel industry, how the steel industry can play a leading role, develop new quality productivity, and focus on improving core competitiveness in scientific and technological innovation, quality standards, etc. is the key to the development of the industry. China Stainless & Special Steel Summit will focus on the new path of high-quality development of the steel industry, and invite experts from key domestic special steel enterprises, universities and research institutions, and relevant industry associations from a new perspective to share and exchange views on hot issues such as intelligent manufacturing in steel industry, localization of high-end equipment, product upgrades, quality management, technological innovation, and steel demand in downstream industries, so as to promote the transformation of China's steel manufacturing to the high end of the global value chain.
