He pointed out that promoting the optimization and transformation and upgrading of the four major industries is not only an urgent need to promote air pollution prevention and control actions and win the battle against the blue sky, but also an important measure to optimize the industrial layout, promote industrial transformation and upgrading, and achieve high-quality development. To further raise awareness and attach great importance toMake every effort to accelerate the progress of the project, and promote the early completion of the project, early production, and early results.

It is understood thatAfter the integration of the production capacity of 5 local steel companies in Xuzhou including Chenggang, Penggang, Taifa, Rongyang, and Longyuan, Xugang and Sino-Singapore Steel will build three new blast furnaces over 2000 cubic meters and two 120-ton converters, which will be put into operation.

Background introduction

On May 20, 2019, the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Jiangsu Province issued two announcement documents in a row: "Announcement on the Capacity Replacement Plan for the Iron and Steel Smelting Project of China-Singapore Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd." and "About the Capacity Replacement of the Ironmaking Construction Project of Xugang Group Publicity of the plan. The content of the announcement shows that Sino-Singapore Steel Group will build two 2050 cubic meters blast furnaces and two new steelmaking capacity with 4,357,500 tons of ironmaking capacity and 3.4 million tons of steelmaking capacity exited by Chenggang Group, Penggang Group, Taifa Iron and Steel, and Rongyang Steel. 120 tons converter. The Xugang Group used Rongyang Iron and Steel, Longyuan Iron and Steel and the two blast furnaces that it withdrew, totaling 2,262,500 tons of ironmaking capacity to build a new 2,120 cubic meter blast furnace.

 It is reported that on April 22 this year, the People’s General Office of Jiangsu Province issued the "Promotion Work Plan for Promoting the Transformation, Upgrading and Optimizing Layout of the Iron and Steel Industry in the Province". The plan requires that by 2020, the smelting capacity in Xuzhou will drop by more than 30% from 2017 , To integrate into two large-scale steel complexes with high level of equipment, long and short processes, and low energy consumption and emissions. The above two capacity replacement plans show that the Xuzhou City Government has taken an important step towards this goal.
