The invention discloses a method for reducing heating gas consumption. By adjusting a first heating section, a second heating section and the soaking temperature, the tapping temperature of cold rolled steel is reduced, and accordingly the heating gas consumption is reduced; in addition, plate blanks at the similar temperature are put into a heating furnace at the same time, so that the plate blanks are heated uniformly; iron scale produced by uneven temperature is decreased, and the quality of plate blank sintered steel is improved. Compared with the prior art, the method for reducing the heating gas consumption has the beneficial effects that by means of the effective measures, the tapping temperature of the cold rolled steel is reduced, and accordingly the gas consumption of the heating furnace is reduced; according to different temperatures, the cold rolled steel is added into the heating furnace in batches, the temperature difference is decreased, and the producing amount of the iron scale is reduced; in addition, due to the fact that the plate blanks are heated in the furnace sufficiently, the process cost investment in the follow-up rolling process can also be decreased, the rolling efficiency is improved, and the ultimate purposes of reducing cost and improving benefits are reached; the gas unit consumption target is reduced from the previous 1.392 GJ/t to 1.364 GJ/t, and the gas consumption is reduced effectively.
