Thoughts and Prospects for Promoting Energy-Saving and Carbon Footprint Reduction in the Non-Ferrous Metal Industry ()
ABSTRACT
As the upstream of high-energy consumption
industries such as metallurgy and chemical enterprises, the “carbon neutrality” ability of mining and mining
enterprises can have a strong influence on the progress of China’s non-ferrous
metal industry to achieve the “double carbon” goal. According to the Global
Mining Development Report 2021, although mining occupies an important position
in global economic development, it also accounts for 4% to 7% of global
greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, as an important part of promoting China’s
economic development and energy structure transformation, mining will also face
scale adjustment. By investigating and studying the carbon emission sources of
mining enterprises at the current stage at home and abroad, the carbon
neutrality method that has been implemented in mines, and the future low-carbon
technologies to be developed, this paper provides the thoughts and prospects
for promoting the development of green mines, as well as the reference value
for the transformation of China’s mining industry.
