绿色低碳转型背景下关键金属循环利用战略与对策

Recycling of Critical Metals in Green and Low-carbon Transition:Strategies and Countermeasures

随着绿色低碳转型成为全球共识和我国全面建设社会主义现代化国家的内在要求,未来关键金属消费将长期大幅增长,循环利用潜力也将逐渐增大。面对百年变局、新冠肺炎疫情和地缘冲突交织,加大循环利用对关键金属供应安全的保障作用已成为美国、欧盟等西方发达国家和地区在国家安全层面的战略共识。文章通过梳理关键金属循环利用的潜力、挑战和主要发达国家的应对战略,力图为我国关键金属循环利用战略和对策制定提供借鉴,助力实现“双碳”目标和绿色低碳转型。

As green and low-carbon transition has gained world-wide recognition and become the inherent requirement of fully building a modern socialist China,the consumption of critical metals will increase drastically in the next decades.Meanwhile,this will mean a continually increasing potential of critical metals recycling.Facing changes and pandemic unseen in a century and increasing geopolitical conflicts,it has become a strategic consensus on the national security level for Western countries like the United States and Europe Union to acknowledge and enhance the role of recycling in secure provision of critical metals.Here,in this study,we have discussed the future potentials and major challenges of critical metals recycling and reviewed the strategies proposed by the main industrialized countries.Based on this,we aim to help formulate China’s national strategies and countermeasures regarding critical metals recycling and thus contribute to supporting the achievement of China’s“dual carbon”ambition and its green and low-carbon transition in the next decades.
