Against the backdrop of global green and low-carbon development, my country's steel industry is entering a critical period of in-depth green transformation. Recently, the new policy issued by the National Development and Reform Commission not only clarified the goals and directions of the green transformation of the steel industry, but also took the improvement of energy efficiency benchmarks as the core driving force to lead the high-quality development of the industry.

As the "golden signboard" of the energy efficiency level of the steel industry, the energy efficiency benchmark not only reflects the production efficiency and management level of the enterprise, but also is an important indicator to measure the level of green development in the industry. The new policy requires steel companies to take the energy efficiency benchmark as the guide, increase technological innovation and management innovation, promote full-process and systematic energy conservation and emission reduction, and maximize energy utilization efficiency.

In the process of green transformation, steel companies face many challenges. On the one hand, it is necessary to overcome the traditional high-energy consumption and high-emission production mode and promote fundamental changes in production methods; on the other hand, it is necessary to actively explore green and low-carbon new technologies and processes to enhance the green added value of products.

However, it is these challenges that also breed new development opportunities for the steel industry. Through green transformation, steel companies can not only reduce production costs and improve market competitiveness, but also promote the sustainable development of the entire industry and achieve a win-win situation of economic and environmental benefits.

Industry experts said that the green transformation of the steel industry is not only a technical and management issue, but also a strategic issue. It requires the joint efforts of the government, enterprises and all sectors of society to form a strong synergy to promote green transformation. At the same time, steel companies are also required to actively embrace change, increase innovation efforts, and explore new paths and models for green development.

Looking to the future, my country's steel industry will be guided by the improvement of energy efficiency benchmarks, deepen green transformation, continuously improve the level of green development, and contribute "Chinese wisdom" and "Chinese solutions" to global green and low-carbon development.
