China Nonferrous Metallurgy

80% of CO₂ emissions in China came from coal in 2019, 14% from oil type and the rest from natural gas and other energy resources. In order to achieve the carbon neutrality goal and transform the energy development mode of China, acceleration of new energy development (wind energy, solar energy and biomass energy, etc.) is the most important way. In this context, it is an inevitable trend to implement the transformation of energy structure by non-ferrous metallurgical industry, an energy-intensive industry and the carbon reduction industry focused by the state. Based on this fact, this paper analyzes the output, energy consumption and carbon emission of China’s non-ferrous metallurgical industry, and makes an in-depth research on the energy consumption and carbon emission status of aluminum and copper industry with the maximum output. It also analyzes the development strategy goal and realization approach for energy transformation and updating of non-ferrous metal metallurgy industry and proposes related policy and suggestions.
