Energy conservation and carbon emission reduction are a key task for China's steel industry to transform and upgrade, and is at the core place of steel industry's green development, he said, adding the pressure from weak market demand will promote coordination in the development and applications of technologies in the steel industry, to turn crisis into opportunities.
