有色金属行业面临的绿色贸易壁垒与低碳发展策略分析与研究

Analysis and Research on Green Trade Barriers and Low Carbon Development Strategies Faced by the Nonferrous Metals Industry

绿色贸易壁垒已成为有色金属行业需要长期面临的重要议题。本文通过具体案例对绿色贸易壁垒进行了简要介绍,并指出其关键问题实际上是企业碳排放与产品碳足迹问题。鉴于中国的有色金属企业在能耗水平方面处于国际领先或国际先进水平,“碳”问题的核心实际上是能源结构的问题。基于此,本文提出了应对绿色贸易壁垒的若干建议,尤其是开展绿色产品评价是切实可行的应对措施。尽管绿色贸易壁垒可能增加企业成本,但同时也可以为企业带来一些积极作用。

Green trade barriers have become an important issue that the non-ferrous metal industry needs to face in the long run.This article provides a brief introduction to green trade barriers through specific cases,and points out that the key issues are actually the carbon emissions of enterprises and the carbon footprint of products.Given that China's non-ferrous metal enterprises are at the international leading or advanced level in energy consumption,the core of the"carbon"issue is actually the problem of energy structure.Based on this,this article proposes several suggestions to address green trade barriers,especially that conducting green product evaluations is a practical and feasible response measure.Although green trade barriers may increase costs for businesses,they can also bring some positive effects to them.
