Plans in place to enhance production, utilization to mitigate import relianceChina is expected to ramp up domestic iron ore sources while enhancing the utilization of scrap steel and housing more overseas mining assets to safeguard the supply of iron ore, a key raw material for steelmaking, experts said.
Domestic output of iron ore and scrap steel supplies will grow, mitigating the nation's reliance on iron ore imports, they added.
The association will work closely with relevant government authorities to explore domestic and overseas sources of iron ore while scaling up scrap steel recycling and utilization under the "cornerstone plan", Luo said at a recent forum on raw materials of the steel industry held by the institute.
It also aims to increase China's share of overseas iron ore production from 120 million tons in 2020 to 220 million tons by 2025, and source 220 million tons per year from scrap recycling by 2025, which will be 70 million tons higher than the 2020 level.
He also said scrap steel recycling and utilization will gather momentum within five to 10 years, to increasingly replace the consumption of iron ore.
China plans to raise the share of overseas iron ore production from 120 million tons in 2020 to 220 million tons by 2025, while it also aims to boost domestic output by 100 million tons to 370 million tons and steel scrap consumption by 70 million tons to 300 million tons.
Li Xinchuang, chief engineer of the metallurgical institute, said the Chinese steel industry has been proactively seeking low-carbon transformation and greener development pathways, with major progress achieved in areas such as promotion and application of advanced energy conservation and low-carbon technologies, construction of intelligent management and control systems, recycling and utilization of steel scrap resources and optimization of the steelmaking process.
"The proportion of steel produced by electric arc furnaces, which use scrap steel as raw material rather than the iron ore consumed by blast furnaces, could rise to between 15 percent and 20 percent in 2025, compared with 9.2 percent in 2020, she said.
Supplies of scrap steel in China are expected to be about 338 million metric tons by 2025, which will significantly promote the development of electric arc furnace-based steelmaking in the country, according to a senior industry expert.
据一位资深行业专家预测，至2025年，中国废钢供应量有望达到约3.38亿吨，这将极大推动国内电弧炉炼钢工艺的发展。
In 2017, the country's production capacity of substandard steel, about 140 million tons, was completely banned, which led to significant increases in scrap steel resources, he said.
他指出，2017年，该国约1.4亿吨劣质钢铁的产能被彻底取缔，此举导致废钢资源大幅增加。
From 2018 to 2020, as China's steel reserves continued to rise, the supplies of scrap steel also increased steadily, with annual growth of about 20 million tons.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released a draft five-year plan for public comment in January on the high-quality development of China's steel industry, calling for more use of scrap metals, expanded electric arc furnace capacity and more Chinese ownership of iron ore supplies.
今年1月，工业和信息化部发布了一份关于中国钢铁行业高质量发展的五年规划草案以征求公众意见，该草案呼吁增加废钢利用、扩大电弧炉产能以及加强对铁矿石供应的中国所有权。
"The government is encouraging the use of electric arc furnaces in order to reduce China's reliance on imported iron ore and increase the usage of scrap steel as raw materials, which is more environmentally friendly.
政府正在鼓励使用电弧炉，以减少中国对进口铁矿石的依赖，并增加废钢作为原材料的使用，这更加环保。
The supply shortage of scrap steel has been one of the main reasons for China's lower usage of electric arc furnaces－currently 10 percent compared with 40 percent in Europe and 70 percent in the United States in 2019.
废钢供应短缺一直是中国电弧炉使用率较低的主要原因之一——2019年，中国电弧炉使用率为10%，而欧洲为40%，美国为70%。
"Electric arc furnaces can make steel by melting scrap metal, rather than iron ore.
电弧炉可以通过熔化废金属来炼钢，而不仅仅是铁矿石。

The import of recycled copper and aluminum differs from previous scrap metal imports.
回收铜和铝的进口与以往的废金属进口有所不同。
Some companies that used to import scrap metal have already begun to transform and upgrade to importing recycled copper and aluminum that meet the national quality standards, he added.
他补充说，一些曾经进口废金属的公司已经开始转型和升级，转而进口符合国家质量标准的回收铜和铝。
Apart from building scrap metal dismantling plants in countries of origin such as Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates to meet domestic demand, the company has set goals of producing 6,000 metric tons of copper and brass as well as 6,000 tons of aluminum per month, to expand its production capacity and offset additional costs of overseas operations, Ying said.
除了在日本、韩国、马来西亚和阿拉伯联合酋长国等原产国建设废金属拆解工厂以满足国内需求外，公司还制定了每月生产6000吨铜和黄铜以及6000吨铝的目标，以扩大生产能力并抵消海外运营的额外成本，应（某人）说道。
Li said the decline will be largely driven by the increased use of scrap steel, as well as the stringent environment standards in the country.

Moreover, since scrap metal imports are banned, imports of the important alternative to iron ores have also slumped heavily since 2018.
此外，由于禁止进口废金属，作为铁矿石重要替代品的进口自2018年以来也大幅下滑。
Xu also suggested strengthening domestic scrap metal utilization to offset demand pressure for iron ore imports, because 1 ton of scrap metal can replace 1.5 tons of iron ore. Apart from tapping raw material resources in both domestic and foreign markets to ensure high-quality raw material supplies, improving the pricing mechanisms and financial system related to raw material trade to reduce the impact of their price fluctuations is needed, Li said.
徐也建议加强国内废金属的利用，以抵消铁矿石进口的需求压力，因为1吨废金属可以替代1.5吨铁矿石。李表示，除了开发国内外原料资源，确保高质量原料供应外，还需要完善与原料贸易相关的定价机制和金融体系，以减少其价格波动的影响。
Due to the huge differences in the coronavirus response and economic recovery between China and other major economies, as well as the differences in the utilization of electric furnaces and scrap steel in steel industry, China's crude steel production took up 58 percent of the world's total for the first eight months, while in 2019 the country's crude steel output accounted for 53.3 percent of the global output the whole year.
由于中国和其他主要经济体在冠状病毒应对和经济复苏方面的巨大差异，以及钢铁行业在电炉和废钢利用方面的差异，今年前8个月，中国的粗钢产量占全球总产量的58%，而2019年全年中国的粗钢产量占全球总产量的比例为53.3%。
Decline forecasted due to excessive global output and cheap scrap metalThe start of 2020 saw slumps in steel prices but fluctuations in imported iron ore prices at high levels, which industry experts said was a reflection of domestic market demand and supply, but was also shaped by non-market factors such as pricing mechanisms.
They also said high imported iron ore prices will not likely continue due to factors including excessive global output of the commodity and tumbling prices for scrap metal, an alternative that avoids the need for iron ore. China imported 262.73 million metric tons of iron ore in the first quarter, up 1.3 percent year-on-year, at an average of $90.59 per ton, up 11.7 percent in terms of price, according to official data from the General Administration of Customs.
In addition, as scrap metal prices will probably stay at a low level and even decline against gradually increasing supplies, imported iron ore prices will also be negatively impacted, Qiu said.
The central bank had last Saturday decided to scrap the traditional benchmark lending rate for new loans starting from this year, and made the loan prime rate (LPR) the only benchmark rate for fresh lending starting this year.
Scrap steel, another key raw material, has seen its price climb 8.8 percent compared with the same period last year.
Steel mills should curb imprudent output expansion, and the industry should strengthen reuse and recycling of scrap steel to reduce reliance on foreign iron ores, he said.
The total export of photovoltaic products reached $16.11 billion in 2018, the highest since the EU's decision to scrap minimum import price restrictions on Chinese products.
An impending policy to tighten scrap steel imports is bound to shake up the domestic market, but the influence will be limited, said experts.
"With an emerging trend that many steel recyclers are seeking to set up branches overseas, the industry is unlikely to be impacted, as imported scrap steel makes up a very small part of total scrap steel consumption, which is about 1 percent," said Guo Daqing, chief-researcher and analyst from the industry newspaper China Metallurgical News.
Guo noted that the policies might lead scrap steel dealers to stock up in the short term, but in the long term, the market will remain stable.
Scrap steel recycling is considered an important way to obtain steel and prevent the waste of useful materials.
From July 1, scrap steel and seven other kinds of solid waste products will be reclassified from an unrestricted import list to a restricted import list, according to a statement from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Commerce, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the General Administration of Customs.
For some metals on the list, such as copper, industry insiders said there might be new quality standards to further classify imported scrap either as solid waste or regular goods, with the latter likely to be exempted from import restrictions.
However, Guo said he hadn't heard of such a clause for scrap steel.
The restriction follows China's continuous efforts in restricting scrap metal imports.
On Dec 31, 2018, a ban on 16 kinds of solid waste products went into effect in China, including scrapped cars and ships, two major sources of scrap steel.
Such moves are leading to substantial drops in imported scrap.
"The restriction on scrap steel imports also helps to spur the development of domestic recycling, as the demand for scrap steel is still growing," said Han Xiaoping, chief researcher at energy analyst website china5e.
"Recent years have seen rising concerns over environment pollution although the recycling rate for scrap steel and many other metals is not as high as many other countries," he added.
In 2017, roughly 17 percent of scrap steel in China was recycled, compared to a world average of 35.5 percent.
"However, there were many small and medium-sized companies that melted scrap steel in induction furnaces, a procedure that can save costs and requires less advanced technology, but produces an inferior quality steel and creates challenges to environmental protection," Han said.
"Luckily such companies were also sidelined alongside the scrap steel import restrictions.
"Guo of China Metallurgical News noted that despite recent tightening policies on scrap steel imports, it will see a boom for a long time in China.
The ministry also said it was set to scrap all tariffs on spodumene ore and cobalt hydrometallurgical semi-products, two key materials in the lithium extraction process.
The ministry last July encouraged automakers to establish recycling service outlets and cooperate with battery producers, used-car dealers and scrap merchants to build regional recycling systems.
The country's ship-breaking yards, which have been tearing apart the world's retired vessels from both civil and military sectors, and turning them into piles of steel scrap bound for mills for repurposing, will henceforth focus only domestic ships.
They cover 32 types of solid waste imports, including ships, auto parts, waste, stainless steel scrap, titanium and wood.
About 800 large ships are sold for scrap in Asia each year, according to NGO Shipbreaking Platform, a Brussels-based coalition of environmental, human and labor rights groups.
Dong Liwan, a professor specializing in the shipping industry chain at Shanghai Maritime University, said some Western countries now are expecting Southeast Asia to scrap aged ships, before they upgrade their green recycling technologies in the ship-breaking sector.
Dong said the government should encourage steel mills to buy more scrap as raw material from domestic ship-breaking companies as a measure to support low-energy-consuming industries.
The China National Ship Recycling Association said that instead of using iron ore to make steel, if companies use scrap from shipbreaking yards, it can reduce gas and water pollution by 86 and 76 percent respectively.
He said the world's ship-breaking industry is not only under pressure from the aspects of ecosystem and occupational health but also facing the reality of not making profits, squeezed as it is by cheaper steel scrap prices and overcapacity in the steel production sector.
"Many ship-breaking yards in Zhejiang have either closed or passively stocked tons of steel scrap because its demand and pricing rights are totally decided by the buyers.
The use of scrap steel by mills had been reduced by 50 percent in 2017," said Yang.
"In the past, scrap consumption normally accounted for 20 percent of crude steel production, which is now less than 10 percent.
Countries such as the United States and many European countries have adopted electric furnaces in steelmaking to deal with scrap of cars, buildings and other steel waste during the early developing stage.
Their steel mills can use this technology and use scrap steel as the main raw material, said Zhang Yongfeng, deputy director of the market research office of the Shanghai International Shipping Institute.
The EU's decision to scrap minimum import price restrictions on China would help facilitate Chinese solar exports to the EU market, and help lower solar product prices in the EU and stimulate demand, he said.
