This research is based on the historical development and current status of the Chinese iron and steel industry，summarizing the characteristics of low-carbon development in the industry，Chinese government policies and measures related to the steel industry，and future development trends. As the Chinese iron and steel industry enters a phase of high-quality development，its energy efficiency has gradually improved，technological innovations have achieved significant accomplishments，and the pace of digital transformation has accelerated. The Chinese government has provided clear directives for the low-carbon development of the iron and steel industry，establishing the goal of achieving carbon peak by 2030. Additionally，due to changes in demand structure，downstream industries are continuously increasing their demand for low-carbon products. The implementation of differentiated electricity pricing policies has prompted steel enterprises to continuously improve energy efficiency. Moreover，there is potential for increased utilization of scrap steel，but it also faces challenges of supply stability and quality，necessitating the establishment and improvement of a scrap steel supply and management system. The high-quality development of China’s economy demands the improvement of steel production processes and product quality，to break foreign technological monopolies and provide downs-tream industries with more high-performance products. Currently，around 90% of China’s crude steel is produced using long process routes，making it imperative to optimize blast furnace processes. Furthermore，due to the significant volume of blast furnace gas in China，increasing its reuse rate becomes a necessary choice for achieving low-carbon development. In the future，the Chinese steel industry will undoubtedly undergo a transformation towards greener and low-carbon practices.
