Since September 22, 2020, at the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly, China proposed that its carbon dioxide emissions should strive to peak before 2030 and strive to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. The terms "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality" have become increasingly popular. On the surface, "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality" are about constraints on carbon emissions, but in reality, they are related to energy and ecological environmental protection.

After China proposed the "dual carbon" goals, relevant departments researched and drafted the "Implementation Plan for Carbon Peak in the Non-ferrous Metals Industry." In November 2022, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment jointly issued the "Implementation Plan." The plan proposes that during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the industrial structure and energy consumption structure of the non-ferrous metals industry will be significantly optimized, important progress will be made in the research and application of low-carbon technologies, the energy consumption and carbon emission intensity of key products will be further reduced, and the proportion of recycled metals will reach more than 24%. During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, the energy consumption structure of the non-ferrous metals industry will be significantly improved, the proportion of renewable energy used in electrolytic aluminum will reach more than 30%, and a green, low-carbon, and circularly developed industrial system will be basically established. Ensure that the non-ferrous metals industry achieves carbon peaking before 2030.
 

How can the non-ferrous metals industry build a full lifecycle chain, aiming at achieving the "dual carbon" goals, including green resource evaluation, green exploration, mine planning and construction, ore mining and comprehensive utilization, and mine environmental and ecological protection and vegetation restoration? The plan proposes four working principles:

 

0 1 Adhere to dual-engine drive

Adhere to the two-pronged approach of government and market forces, improve the policy system for green and low-carbon development in the non-ferrous metals industry, strengthen incentive and constraint mechanisms, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of market entities, and take multiple measures to promote green and low-carbon development.

 
0 2 Adhere to technological innovation

Give full play to the supporting and leading role of technological innovation, strengthen industry-academia-research-application collaboration, strengthen innovation capacity building, promote the development of low-carbon and zero-carbon technologies in the non-ferrous metals industry, enhance the supply of key common technologies, and promote the application of advanced and applicable technologies.

 
0 3 Adhere to key breakthroughs

Strengthen the concept of carbon reduction throughout the entire process, focusing on large-volume, high-carbon-emitting bulk commodities, key links such as smelting, atmospheric pollution prevention and control, and key areas with fragile ecological environments, accurately implement measures to break through bottlenecks in carbon peaking, and drive improvements in energy efficiency and carbon emission reduction levels across the industry.

 
0 4 Adhere to orderly progress

Consider the relationship between carbon peaking work and the stable operation of the non-ferrous metals industry, ensuring effective supply, and maintaining the security of the industrial chain and supply chain, respecting laws, seeking truth from facts, and scientifically and orderly advancing carbon peaking work.
