China's nonferrous industry carbon emission to peak by 2030

Carbon missions from China's nonferrous metals industry are now expected to peak by 2030, according to an implementation plan issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment on November 15.

The plan calls for a significant optimization of the country's nonferrous industrial structure and energy mix, major progresses in low-carbon technology development and application, and a further decline in energy consumption and emission intensity per unit product of key varieties during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), with the share of the supply of secondary metal to exceed 24% by 2025. For the next five-year period (2026-2030), China expects to see a further improvement in the energy mix of nonferrous sector, with renewable energy consumption in primary aluminum production to surpass 30% by 2030.
