en.Wedoany.com Reported - From May 14 to 15, the 2026 (3rd) Iron and Steel Industry Internet + Intelligent Manufacturing Collaborative Innovation Forum and Advanced Technology Exchange for Digital and Intelligent Transformation in the Steel Industry was held in Qian'an City, Hebei Province, China. At the conference, the Energy and Carbon Management Platform of Tangshan Songting Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. was officially launched. The forum was hosted by the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Iron and Steel Industry Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Industrial Technology Innovation Alliance, and organized by the University of Science and Technology Beijing (Qian'an) Advanced Steel Technology Application Research Institute, Beijing Dingxin Steel Union Technology Collaborative Innovation Research Institute, Tangshan Songting Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Songting Iron & Steel), Shougang Qian'an Iron & Steel Company, and other units, with Hunan Jiujiu Intelligent Environmental Protection Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Jiujiu Intelligent Environmental Protection) as co-organizer.

Han Liang, Deputy Director of the Qian'an Municipal Bureau of Data Technology, Industry and Information Technology, stated in his address that Qian'an is a leader in Hebei's county-level economy and a nationally important production base for high-quality steel, having built a full-chain industrial ecosystem from raw materials to end products. Zhang Yu, Deputy General Manager of Beijing University of Science and Technology Science Park Co., Ltd., introduced that USTB and the Qian'an Municipal Government jointly established the USTB Qian'an Advanced Steel Technology Application Research Institute, focusing on achievement transformation and industrialization. Liu Liming, Chairman of Jiujiu Intelligent Environmental Protection, believed that digital intelligence is a key engine for the steel industry to break through environmental bottlenecks and enhance core competitiveness. Yang Shangbao, a public policy scholar from the National Development and Reform Commission, Zhang Guodong, Assistant General Manager of Songting Iron & Steel, Pan Chongchao, Executive Director of the Smart Energy Research Center at USTB, Han Liang, Liu Liming, and Zhang Yu jointly pressed their handprints, announcing the official launch of the Songting Iron & Steel Energy and Carbon Management Platform.

This Energy and Carbon Management Platform was led by the University of Science and Technology Beijing and built with the participation of Jiujiu Intelligent Environmental Protection, covering all processes including sintering, pelletizing, ironmaking, steelmaking, and steel rolling. The platform relies on an industrial internet architecture to build a full-chain technical system of "data co-source collection - hierarchical governance - collaborative optimization - precise control." In the forum's keynote report session, Yang Shangbao proposed that digitalization is a crucial lever for improving quality and efficiency in the steel industry, and intelligence is a systematic engineering project built upon data foundations and models. Zhang Guodong introduced that Songting Iron & Steel has completed all acceptance work for the China Iron and Steel Association's "Dual Carbon" best practice energy efficiency benchmark and has officially entered the public announcement procedure.

Pan Chongchao believed that the green transformation of the steel industry requires systematic optimization of energy and carbon emissions from a full-process perspective. The digital energy and carbon management center they created will continuously advance through four stages: real-time monitoring, analytical insights, balanced scheduling, and collaborative optimization. More than 200 representatives from government departments, steel and related industry chain enterprises attended the conference. During the meeting, participants visited the Songting Iron & Steel Energy and Carbon Management Platform and the Industrial Source Flue Gas Intelligent Control Precision Ammonia Injection System.
