Release of the 2023 Project Guideline of China Baowu Low-Carbon Metallurgy Innovation Fund
China Baowu has set up the Low-Carbon Metallurgy Innovation Fund since 2021,which provides RMB 35 million annually mainly to the fundamental and applied fundamental research of low-carbon metallurgy,promoting green and low-carbon development.The 2023 Project Guideline of China Baowu Low-Carbon Metal⁃ lurgy Innovation Fund will be released at the Global Low-Carbon Metallurgical Innovation Al⁃ liance Conference on October 15,2023.
The Low-Carbon Metallurgy Innovation Fund(hereinafter referred to as the Low-Carbon Fund),established by China Baowu,aims to focus on the green and low-carbon metallurgical pro⁃ cesses and technologies,subsidize the fundamental and applied fundamental research of low-carbon metallurgy and the exploration,major innova⁃ tions and practices of low-carbon metallurgical processes and technologies,and support the prog⁃ ress in low-carbon metallurgy technologies and industrial transformation and upgrading.
In August 2023,China Baowu Low-Carbon Metallurgy Innovation Center(hereinafter re⁃ ferred to as the Low-Carbon Center)started to compile the 2023 Project Guideline of the Low-Carbon Fund.It collected opinions from all sec⁃ tors of society on the project guideline,receiving 127 suggestions in total.Experts from the techni⁃ cal committee of the Global Low-Carbon Metal⁃ lurgical Innovation Alliance evaluated the most suitable and urgent research and identified 10 di⁃ rections based on scores given to the received opinions.They will be released on the Global Low-Carbon Metallurgy Innovation Forum 2023 on October 15.
This year’s project guideline focuses on areas like the green raw material of low-carbon metal⁃ lurgy,low-carbon fuel,biomass energy,compre⁃ hensive utilization of metallurgical resources,and carbon capture,utilization and storage(CCUS). It encourages the fundamental and applied funda⁃ mental research of new materials,new products, new technologies,and new processes in steel and related fields.
In the meantime,in response to the call of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China(CPC)to strengthen the cultivation and utilization of young scientific and technological talents,China Baowu initiated a“Youth Pro⁃ gram”in this year’s project guideline.The Youth Program focuses on the fundamental and applied fundamental research of low-carbon met⁃ allurgy,and its topics are not subject to the direc⁃ tions in the project guideline.Only young people under 35 years old are qualified for application. Aiming to encourage young scientific and techno⁃ logical talents to shoulder the responsibility and take the lead,the Youth Program guides young people to pay close attention to the national car⁃ bon peaking and carbon neutrality strategy and the demands of the steel industry and to contrib⁃ ute wisdom to achieving the carbon neutrality goal of the steel industry.
When compiling the project guideline,the Low-Carbon Center invited experts from the technical committee of the Alliance to carry out democratic evaluations while taking both the dis⁃ tribution of specialties and the systematic and bal⁃ anced contents of the project guideline into ac⁃ count,ensuring a transparent and traceable deci⁃ sion-making process.
The 2023 Low-Carbon Fund will accept appli⁃ cations from October 16 to December 31,2023. China Baowu Low-Carbon Metallurgy Innova⁃ tion Fund is administered by the Low-Carbon Metallurgy Innovation Center of China Baowu Steel Group Corporation and is subject to public supervision.
