The company has been making efforts to upgrade technologies and equipment, as well as intensify energy recycling and intelligent management.
It has accelerated the use of highly efficient energy-saving facilities and equipment across its operations. Such equipment includes natural gas power generators and energy-saving water pumps.
The company is also phasing out a number of motors or other devices that are energy-intensive.
In the past three years, more than 100 energy conservation and environmental protection projects have been implemented by Jianlong Group's subsidiaries, with a total investment of more than 9 billion yuan ($1.4 billion).
The company has also been actively carrying out research on the green development of the metallurgical industry, while promoting the research and application of new energy-saving and environmental protection technologies.
With the application of intelligent technology for thermal control, the company's energy consumption rates have been lowered by 5 to 21 percent in some production links, such as heating furnaces and hot air furnaces.
Subsidiaries of the group have also made use of marginal waste heat as a heating source.
Experts and business leaders said that under the nation's green pledges, the steel industry faces huge pressure to make more efforts to shift toward green development.
