The 2023 Steel Industry New Energy + Energy Storage Conference was held in Sichuan

On October 19-20, the 2023 Steel Industry New Energy + Energy Storage Conference was held in Chengdu, Sichuan. More than 300 people attended the meeting, including the Department of Energy Conservation and Comprehensive Utilization of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the relevant responsible comrades of the Sichuan Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology, and representatives of relevant scientific research institutes, colleges and universities, steel industry and new energy enterprises.

The relevant responsible comrades of the Department of Energy Conservation and Comprehensive Utilization said that accelerating the green and low-carbon transformation of industry is the essential requirement for promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and realizing new industrialization. The development of new energy + energy storage is an important way to promote the adjustment of energy structure and green and low-carbon transformation of the iron and steel industry, which is conducive to breaking through resource and environmental constraints in traditional industries such as steel and forging new competitive advantages in the industry. In the next step, it is necessary to actively cultivate and expand the new energy and energy storage industries, gradually expand the application scenarios and scope of new energy and energy storage, further strengthen the coordination of policy planning, and promote the rational layout of the industry and the coordinated development of upstream and downstream.

Gan Yong, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and Ding Yulong, academician of the Royal Academy of Engineering, respectively made keynote reports on "scientific and technological innovation to support the development of new energy technology and industry" and "energy storage and carbon neutrality technology".
