Paths and methods for achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality in the copper industry
This article focuses on the paths and methods to achieve carbon peaking & neutrality in the copper industry.It analyses the characteristics of carbon emissions in the copper industry,and proposes three stages of carbon peaking & neutrality goals,including short-term,medium-term,and long-term objectives,along with targeted technological and policy paths.On the technological path,a carbon reduction technology system is emphasized,including source control,process control,and resource recycling.Advanced carbon reduction technologies and methods in the copper industry,such as copper refining using hydrogen are listed,and the current transformative technological progress,including the use of artificial intelligence technology for mineral exploration is summarized.A summary has also been made on negative carbon strategies such as carbon capture and ecological restoration carbon sequestration.Regarding the political path,it is suggested that governments,enterprises,and all sectors of society share the responsibility of promoting low-carbon development in the copper industry.This can be achieved by optimising industrial layout,energy transformation,energy conservation and carbon reduction,technological support,and circular development.By employing these methods,green,efficient,and sustainable development in the copper industry can be achieved.Furthermore,different approaches to technology and government carbon management are outlined to enhance their feasibility and operability in achieving carbon peaking & neutrality.
