The EU CBAM carbon tariff policy has been officially implemented, imposing an additional 8% -12% carbon cost on steel imports. Steel mills with photovoltaic spontaneous green electricity, ultra-low emissions, and wastewater recycling systems can issue low-carbon traceability reports and reduce some carbon taxes; High energy consuming and environmentally friendly supporting enterprises have significantly reduced their competitiveness in exporting to Europe. High energy consuming coating products such as aluminum zinc plating and color coating are most affected, and the industry is accelerating the layout of distributed photovoltaics, waste heat recovery, and other carbon reduction transformations.
