Technological Innovation as a New Engine for the Industry
In recent years, the pace of technological upgrading in China's steel pipe industry has significantly accelerated. Statistics show that over 80% of steel enterprises have completed the construction of intelligent integrated control centers or have begun applying large models, promoting the intelligent optimization of production processes. In the intelligent integrated control center of a steel enterprise in Inner Mongolia, AI algorithms analyze process parameters in real time, achieving intelligent planning of cooling paths and automatic allocation of flaw detection tasks, significantly improving production efficiency and product quality.

Environmental protection transformation investment exceeds 200 billion yuan
Driven by environmental protection policies, the industry's green transformation is accelerating. By the end of 2024, 171 steel enterprises had completed or partially completed ultra-low emission transformation, accounting for more than 70% of crude steel production capacity, with a total investment exceeding 200 billion yuan. Through energy-saving project transformation, the energy consumption per ton of steel has decreased by 1.75% year-on-year. The 1.2 million-ton hydrogen metallurgy demonstration project of Hegang Group has been operating stably since 2023, reducing carbon emissions by 800,000 tons per year, with a reduction rate of 70%, providing an important demonstration for global low-carbon transformation in the steel industry.
