More than half of the world's copper production ** China, still need to continue to increase! What is the shortage of copper in China?
There is a huge demand for copper in our country.
Although China's copper reserves are the sixth largest in the world, it relies on imports every year to meet the requirements of the market. In recent years, with the rapid development of clean energy, industry and industry, the domestic demand for copper has been rising. For example, in the field of new energy, solar energy, wind energy, etc. require a large amount of copper, and according to the calculation of the China Electricity Association, in the future, new power systems such as solar energy and wind energy will produce more than one million tons of copper. In terms of industry, due to the consumption of machinery and electronic products and the promotion of new energy vehicles, China needs to import copper from abroad on a large scale to meet the contradiction between supply and demand at home.
With the rapid development of the national economy, people's quality of life continues to improve, and people's demand for copper is also increasing. Especially in the area of clean energy, the demand for copper is increasing rapidly. In addition, due to the gradual promotion of new energy vehicles and the modernization of the industry, the demand for CU is also increasing. At the same time, the domestic demand for copper is also increasing, which is also an important factor in the need for large domestic imports.
Difficulties in the quality and development of copper ore in China.
Although China's total copper resources rank first in the world, there are huge challenges in the development of copper resources due to its low grade, many poor ores, few rich ores, small scale, and difficult to develop. There is still a big gap between the overall quality of China's copper ore and the world, and there are only a few ores exceeding 1%, which determines that China's current copper production is low and needs to increase mining efforts. In addition, most copper deposits are distributed in mountainous areas and other areas with complex environments, and there are high costs and poor profit margins in mining, transportation and other links, which seriously restricts their efficient development and utilization.
Read more: The quality of copper ore has become a major reason restricting the development of the copper industry. Copper ore reserves are small and low-grade, which has become a bottleneck restricting the development of copper mines in China. Due to the low average grade of copper ore, it not only requires an increase in mining volume, but also increases mining costs and pollutes the ecological environment. In addition, most of the mining areas are located in mountainous areas, the terrain is relatively complex, and mining is difficult, especially in some copper-rich areas, and its environmental protection problems are also difficult to solve. Due to its low ore quality and mining difficulties, it has become a bottleneck that restricts its efficient development and utilization.
How to balance environmental protection and development resources.
In China's copper mine development, it is very important to find a balance between environmental protection and development. Although China is rich in copper minerals, most of them are located in specific natural conditions such as the ** Duolong copper deposit. Mining activities will lead to water pollution and ecological damage, causing irreversible impacts on regional ecosystems. Therefore, in the development of copper mines, we must pay attention to environmental protection issues, and achieve the harmony and unity of economic development and ecological environment through scientific and technological means and governance methods.
Further reading: How to coordinate the relationship between environmental protection and development is an important problem to be solved in the current development of China's copper mining industry. Countries around the world should take into account the relationship between economic development and environmental protection in the mining of copper resources. In particular, some copper mines in the protected area can cause serious harm to the surrounding environment and organisms due to their mining activities. Therefore, in the process of vigorously developing copper resources, we must pay attention to environmental protection, advocate green mining, minimize the damage to the environment, and achieve a win-win situation of resource utilization and ecological protection.
Brief summary. Overall, although China has abundant copper reserves, it still relies on imports due to its low grade, mining difficulties and high environmental pressures. In the future, the state should continue to promote scientific and technological innovation, enhance the comprehensive utilization of resources, strengthen environmental protection methods, and closely link the exploitation of resources with the sustainable development of environmental protection, so that China's copper industry can develop better and promote the sustainable development of the national economy.
