"The 12th Five-year Development Plan for Nonferrous Metals Industry" was released

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially issued the "12th Five-Year Development Plan for Nonferrous Metals Industry." This "Planning" is based on the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development" and "Industrial Transformation and Upgrading Planning (2011-2015)". It is divided into the development status, development environment, guiding ideology, and major The six chapters of the target, main tasks, major special projects, and safeguard measures are the specific arrangements for accelerating the transformation and upgrading of the nonferrous metals industry and are the guiding documents for promoting the healthy development of China's nonferrous metals industry in the next five years.

"Planning" mentioned that during the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, China's non-ferrous metal industry will adhere to the five basic principles of structural adjustment, adherence to scientific and technological innovation, adherence to green development, adherence to international cooperation, and adherence to industrialization and information integration. The plan proposes major tasks such as vigorously adjusting the industrial structure, improving resource support capabilities, accelerating the technological progress of enterprises, intensifying the prevention and control of heavy metal pollution, and vigorously promoting energy conservation and emission reduction.

The main objective of the "Planning" is that during the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, remarkable progress has been made in structural adjustment and industrial transformation and upgrading of the non-ferrous metal industry. The average value of industrial added value has increased by more than 10% annually, and the quality and efficiency of industrial development have improved markedly. At the end of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, the output of ten non-ferrous metals was controlled at about 46 million tons, with an average annual growth rate of 8%. The outdated smelting production capacity will be phased out and the energy consumption per unit of industrial added value per million yuan and the energy consumption per unit of product will be further reduced. The comprehensive energy consumption of copper, lead, magnesium and zinc smelting was reduced to 300 kg standard coal/ton, 320 kg standard coal/ton, 4 tons standard coal/ton and 900 kg standard coal/ton and below, respectively, and the electrolytic aluminum direct current consumption, The total flow of titanium sponge power consumption dropped to 12,500 kWh/ton and 25,000 kWh/ton respectively. Key large and medium-sized enterprises establish a sound technological innovation system, R&D investment accounted for 1.5% of main business income, and progress in independent and innovative process technologies such as intensive processing of products, comprehensive utilization of resources, and low-carbon technologies. Green efficient processes and energy-saving emission reduction technologies are widely used. application. The industrial layout and organizational structure have been optimized, product variety and quality have basically met the needs of strategic emerging industries, and industrial concentration has further increased. In 2015, the smelting output of the top 10 companies accounted for 90% of copper, 90% of electrolytic aluminum, 60% of lead, and 60% of zinc. The level of informatization of production, operation and management of enterprises has been greatly improved. In terms of environmental governance, heavy metal pollution will be effectively prevented and controlled. In 2015, heavy metal pollution in key regions was reduced by 15% compared with 2007. With regard to the protection of resources, the level of comprehensive utilization of resources has been significantly improved, and international cooperation has made significant progress. The level of safeguarding of non-ferrous metal resources has been further enhanced.

The issuance of the "12th Five-Year Development Plan for Nonferrous Metals Industry" will implement the scientific concept of development for the non-ferrous metal industry, accelerate the change in the growth mode, promote the adjustment of the industrial structure, promote industrial transformation and upgrading, and comprehensively enhance the core competitiveness of the industry and sustainability. It is of great significance to develop the ability to realize the transformation of China's non-ferrous metal industry from big to strong.
