In 2021, China Baowu set up the Low-Carbon Metallurgical Innovation Fund for the whole society, focusing on funding fundamental and applied fundamental research in the low-carbon metallurgical field, and supporting green development. 

In June 2021, we launched the consultation and preparation of the Project Guide of China Baowu’s Low-Carbon Metallurgical Innovation Fund (hereinafter referred to as the Low-Carbon Fund Guide), publicly issued the consulting letter for the fund project guide to the whole society, and received a total of 81 applications. According to the criteria of emergency and necessity，the experts of the Technical Committee of Global Low-Carbon Metallurgical Innovation Alliance evaluated and deliberated the applications, and finally selected 25 guidelines.

On November 18, 2021,Low-Carbon Fund Guide was officially released at the Inaugural Ceremony of the Global Low-Carbon Metallurgical Innovation Alliance, receiving wide public attention. We received a total of 150 applications from 42 entities nationwide. After online review and conference review, 22 projects were finally selected to be supported by the low-carbon fund, with total funding of 38.75 million yuan.

In September this year, China Baowu will start compiling the Low-Carbon Fund Guide in 2022. We hereby invite domestic and foreign enterprises, universities and research institutes to provide valuable opinions on the compilation work based on the development trends of the global steel industry and low-carbon technologies. We will then organize relevant experts to review and determine the 2022 Low-carbon fund   guidelines, which will be officially released to the public at the forum of the Global Low-Carbon Metallurgical Innovation Alliance this year.

We are looking forward to your advice and suggestions on the Low-Carbon Fund Guide in 2022.Please send the consultation form (see Annex for details) to lcmic@baosteel.com before September 16, 2022. Thank you all for your support for the consultation!
