On December 29, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Natural Resources released the “14th Five-Year Plan” (hereinafter referred to as the “Plan”) for the development of raw materials industry, focusing on “high-end supply, rationalization of structure, green development, digital transformation, The five aspects of “system security” have identified a number of development goals. It is proposed that by 2025, the quality stability, reliability and applicability of high-end products of advanced basic materials will be significantly improved. Break through a number of key basic materials in key strategic areas. The production capacity of key raw materials and bulk products such as crude steel and cement has only been reduced but not increased. 5-10 leading enterprises in the industrial chain with ecological leadership and core competitiveness will be formed. Form more than 5 world-class advanced manufacturing clusters in the field of raw materials.
“The raw material industry is the foundation of the real economy and a basic industry that supports the development of the national economy.” At the press conference held on the 29th, Chen Kelong, director of the Department of Raw Materials Industry of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, introduced that after years of development, my country has become a veritable raw material industry. Great country. In 2020, the added value of my country’s raw material industry will account for 27.4% of the added value of industries above designated size, and more than 150,000 types of products will be produced, which are widely used in various fields of national economic and social development.
The “Planning” proposes the overall development direction for the next 5 years and the long-term goals for the next 15 years, that is, by 2025, the raw material industry will initially form a higher quality, better efficiency, better layout, greener and safer industrial layout; By 2035, it will become a highland for the research and development, production and application of important raw material products in the world. And put forward five major projects including innovative development of new materials, low-carbon manufacturing pilot, digital empowerment, strategic resource security, and strengthening the chain.
Focusing on accelerating the green and low-carbon transformation of the raw material industry, the “Plan” proposes to implement a low-carbon manufacturing pilot project, and promote the green and low-carbon development of the raw material industry through structural adjustment, technological innovation, and strengthened management. Specific targets such as reducing energy consumption by 2%, reducing energy consumption per unit of clinker by 3.7% for cement products, and reducing carbon emissions from electrolytic aluminum by 5%.
Feng Meng, deputy director of the Raw Materials Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the next step will be to promote the rationalization of the industrial structure, actively implement energy-saving and low-carbon actions, promote ultra-low emissions and clean production, and improve the comprehensive utilization of resources. Among them, in promoting the rationalization of the industrial structure, we will strictly implement the production capacity replacement policy of steel, cement, flat glass, electrolytic aluminum and other industries, strictly control the new production capacity, and continuously consolidate the results of reducing production capacity. Strictly control the new production capacity of oil refining, ammonium phosphate, calcium carbide, caustic soda, soda ash, yellow phosphorus and other industries, and moderately control the growth rate of modern coal chemical production capacity. Vigorously develop new materials and other green and low-carbon industries to enhance industrial value and product added value.
Strategic mineral resources are the basic raw materials for economic and social development, and are related to national economic security, national economy and people’s livelihood and the lifeline of the national economy. The “Plan” proposes that during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, it is necessary to rationally develop domestic mineral resources, expand diversified resource supply channels, and continuously improve the guarantee capacity of mineral resources.
Chang Guowu, deputy director of the Department of Raw Materials Industry of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said in response to a question from a reporter from the Economic Information Daily that during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, the exploration and development of domestic scarce mineral resources will be increased. Focusing on the shortage of mineral resources such as iron and copper, a number of high-standard mining projects and efficient development and utilization bases of mineral resources shall be appropriately constructed in key domestic resource areas, and the role of domestic mineral resources as “ballast stone” and the basic guarantee capability shall be strengthened. At the same time, actively improve the relevant standards and policies for renewable resources, unblock the import channels of scrap metal, support enterprises to establish scrap metal recycling bases and industrial clusters, and realize the effective supplement of renewable resources to primary minerals.
