| Abstract: |
| This article focuses on the paths and methods to achieve carbon peaking & neutrality in the copper industry, it analyzes 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 one, as well as targeted technological and policy paths. On the technical path, emphasis is placed on a carbon reduction technology system that includes 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. In terms of 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 through measures such as optimizing industrial layout, energy transformation, energy conservation and carbon reduction, technological support, and circular development, through all those methods, a green, efficient, and sustainable development in the copper industry will be achieved. In the meanwhile, we have sorted out different approaches to technology and government carbon management, and improved their feasibility and operability in achieving carbon peaking & neutrality. |
