Renewable Energy and Advanced Materials-紫金西语

Zijin’s contribution to the global “decarbonization” endeavor

197 governments are parties to the Paris Agreement, and about 1,400 companies have set or committed to setting carbon emission targets. China’s goal of peaking carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060 is a pledge that will have a significant impact on global economic and social development. This goal is extremely difficult to achieve, but will also drive revolution in science and technology and the energy revolution, creating opportunities and challenges!

Copper is a basic metal required by the green, renewable energy sector.

In the energy revolution pioneered by electrification to replace the internal combustion engines, metal materials are very important to the global decarbonization drive. Copper, the most cost-effective conductor, will become the key metal to the green energy revolution, electrification and intelligent transformation. It holds a strategic place in energy transformation and upgrading.
World-class high-grade lithium project

The 3Q salar is situated in the well-known “Lithium Triangle” in South America, and is one of the largest and highest-grade projects of its kind. Spread across an area of 353 square kilometers, the project’s mining license covers the entire surface and brine of the salar. Its resources are abundant, high in grade, and low in impurities, with favorable conditions for development. In addition, it holds good potential for further discoveries and production expansion.

Natural carbon sinks

The Group has been increasing the proportion of clean energy it uses. Significantly reducing carbon emissions and energy consumption per unit of GDP is an underlying principle for the Group’s activities.
“Oil” to “Electricity”

The Group is pushing for the use of clean energy at its domestic and overseas projects. It has been switching from “oil” to “electricity” and has significantly increased the level of electrification.
Clean energy business

The Group makes use of the idle land and plant roofs of existing mines and smelters to provide space for solar power and wind power projects, while developing hydropower facilities in project locations with suitable conditions.
