The year 2022 will be the year of the 20th CPC National Congress and a crucial year for the full implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan. Under the background of "dual carbon", China's economy will put "stability" at the top of its agenda and seek progress while maintaining stability.  However, the electrical steel industry will play its due role in the "double carbon".  

I. China's "dual Carbon"  

"Double carbon" is an important medium - and long-term strategy for China to deal with global climate.  "Double carbon" mainly includes two goals: one is the "carbon peak", refers to a certain region or industry annual carbon-dioxide emissions of its record high, and then through the process of plateau into the continued to decline, and carbon dioxide emissions by increasing roll off historical turning point, marked the carbon emissions and realize the decoupling of economic development, with goals include up to maximum peak and peak;  The second is carbon neutrality, which refers to the carbon dioxide emitted directly and indirectly by human activities in a certain area within a certain period of time (usually one year), and the carbon dioxide absorbed through afforestation and other activities offset each other to achieve "net zero emissions" of carbon dioxide.  

In September 2020, At the general debate of the 75th SESSION of the United Nations General Assembly, President Xi Jinping declared that "China will strive to peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060".  In September 2021 at the seventy-sixth session of the UN general assembly general debate, xi President reiterated "carbon neutral" 3060 carbon peak promise, called for global environmental governance, actively respond to climate change, build a community of life, man and nature and says it will vigorously support the development of green low carbon energy in developing countries, is no longer new overseas coal project.  This is based on promoting human destiny community in our country and to realize the sustainable development of the grand goal of important strategic decisions, not only means that the world's largest developing country, China will achieve the highest carbon intensity, is also one of the world history peak to the shortest possible time to realize from the carbon carbon neutral.  

Two, the role of electrical steel in "double carbon"  

Electrical steel is one of the important raw material products indispensable for modernization, high quality development and people's life in China.  It is also the key encouraged steel products in the Guidance Catalogue for Industrial Structure Adjustment issued by China in November 2019.  

At present, China has become the world's largest consumer and producer of electrical steel.  Electrical steel steel as a kind of functional material widely used in electric power and telecommunications industry, to manufacture generators, motors, transformers, transformers, relays and other equipment, used in power generation, transmission and played a key role, machinery equipment and household electrical appliances energy efficiency height largely depends on the electromagnetic properties of electrical steel.  

Because of the increasing demand for energy saving and emission reduction, the state's energy efficiency requirements for power transformers, motors and household appliances are constantly improving.  On June 1, 2021, the mandatory standards of GB20052-2013 "Power transformer Energy Efficiency Limit value and Energy Efficiency Grade" and GB18613-2020 "Motor energy efficiency Limit value and Energy efficiency Grade" were formally implemented;  On July 1, 2020, the mandatory standard gb21455-2019 "Energy Efficiency Limit value and Energy Efficiency Grade of room air conditioner" was formally implemented, and the mandatory standard GB12021.2-2015 "Electricity consumption Limit value and Energy efficiency Grade of household refrigerators" was implemented in advance in October 2016.  These four energy efficiency standards reduce the no-load loss of electrical products, and put forward higher requirements for the performance of core materials for motors, transformers, household appliances and other products.  Due to the characteristics of low iron loss and high magnetic induction, high-performance electrical steel is the preferred material for making high-efficiency, large-capacity motors and energy-saving transformers, and plays an important role in energy saving and consumption reduction in the power industry.
