China Economic Net, Beijing, March 7 (Reporter Yang Xiufeng) The industrial sector is the key object of China's goal of achieving carbon peak. The non-ferrous metal industry is not only a key industry for carbon reduction in China's industrial field, but also a basic industry of the national economy, an important support for building a manufacturing power, and an important guarantee for key materials to achieve the "double carbon" goal. Ding Shiqi, deputy to the National People's Congress and general manager of Anhui Tongling Nonferrous Metals Group Holdings, said in an interview with reporters that the non-ferrous metals industry should help achieve China's "double carbon" goal through technological optimization and upgrading, resource utilization and other key problems, and digital transformation of traditional industries.

Representative Ding Shiqi said that in recent years, Tongling Nonferrous Metals has adhered to the development direction of high-end, intelligent and green, accelerated the research and development, promotion and application of new technologies, strengthened investment in key projects, further extended the chain and strengthened the chain, enhanced the resilience and competitiveness of the industrial chain, and built a world-class copper industry cluster. For example, negative energy consumption made of sulfuric acid has been realized, which has set an example for strengthening the comprehensive utilization of resources and serving the construction of "zero-waste cities".
A few days ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Guidelines for the Construction of Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality Standard System in the Industrial Field", which plans key industries such as iron and steel, non-ferrous metals, and other key carbon emission industries, as well as carbon reduction of key products, process carbon control, and collaborative carbon reduction, etc., to strengthen the overall planning and top-level design of standardization work.
This year's work report pointed out that the construction of ecological civilization should be strengthened and green and low-carbon development should be promoted. Representative Ding Shiqi said that for the non-ferrous metal industry, green and low-carbon development needs to adhere to high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance, and play a good game of innovation.
The first is to promote the upgrading of the main business. In recent years, Tongling Nonferrous Metals has vigorously implemented actions to improve quality, expand quantity and increase efficiency, rapidly develop and expand advantageous industries, and implement key projects such as green and intelligent copper-based new materials from a high starting point. We will continue to expand mineral resources, accelerate the second phase expansion project of Mirador Copper Mine in Ecuador, and actively plan new overseas resources to improve the ability to guarantee the industrial chain. Seize the opportunities for the vigorous development of industries such as 5G, new energy, and new infrastructure, promote the upgrading and production capacity of new material products such as electronic copper foil and IGBT packaging materials, and consolidate and expand the first-mover advantage in the field of high-end copper-based new materials.
The second is to expand the space for transformation. Implement the "double carbon" goal, focus on the fields of circular economy, comprehensive utilization of resources, environmental protection, new materials, etc., accelerate the development of new industries such as green materials, greatly improve the scale of the industry, and create a new business card for the development of green and low-carbon industries.
The third is to strengthen digital empowerment. Accelerate the construction of the non-ferrous intelligent industrial Internet platform, build smart mines and smart factories, strive to promote the deep integration and development of the digital economy and the real economy, and comprehensively carry out machine generation, automated job substitution, and intelligent management and control activities to achieve digital empowerment. Use modern information technology to tap the space for efficiency improvement, reduce energy and material consumption in the production process, and promote green transformation and upgrading.
The fourth is to create "strong" kinetic energy. Adhere to high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement, and play a good game of innovation. For example, Tongling Nonferrous Metals has established and operated two high-level platforms (Anhui Tongguan Industrial Technology Research Institute and Anhui Nonferrous Metals New Materials Research Institute), and two provincial key laboratories have been recognized at the provincial level. 2 full-time doctors and 13 flexible doctors were introduced. He has won 10 science and technology awards at or above the provincial and ministerial level, including 3 provincial first prizes; 376 patents have been authorized, including 80 invention patents. The research and development of new products such as solar cathode silver powder, HVLP for 5G, and carrier copper foil for IC packaging substrates has been accelerated.
