XNUMX. Xinjiang Wuchangshi area no longer plans to build new electrolytic aluminum production capacity projects

Recently, the “Three Lines and One Single” Ecological Environment Zoning Management and Control Requirements for Seven Major Regions of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (2021 Edition) (hereinafter referred to as the “Management and Control Requirements”) was officially released. The four dimensions of resource utilization efficiency have clarified the management and control requirements, and based on the environmental characteristics of each area, the management and control key points of the seven major areas have been put forward in a targeted manner.

The “Three Lines and One Single” Ecological Environment Zoning Control Plan of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region issued in February this year divided the whole area into seven major areas and 2 environmental control units.In order to strictly implement the requirements of the plan, the Autonomous Region Department of Ecology and Environment took the lead in organizing the preparation of the technical team on the basis of the autonomous region’s ecological environment access list, after thorough research and discussion, and extensive solicitation of opinions, formulated and issued the “Management and Control Requirements”.

7. In July, China’s aluminum production fell for the third consecutive month due to power shortages

News from Beijing, August 16th: Data released by the National Bureau of Statistics of China on Monday showed that China’s aluminum production fell for the third consecutive month in July, and the average daily output hit the lowest level since October 2020.

China produced 3.26 million tons of primary aluminum in July, a decrease of 0.9% from the 3.29 million tons in June, but a year-on-year increase of 7.4%.

The reason for the month-on-month decline in output is that Yunnan Province, which accounts for 10% of China’s aluminum production capacity, re-limited the power consumption of aluminum producers in July.Yunnan is rich in clean hydropower resources, but due to severe drought this year and pollution control measures, it has faced a shortfall in power supply and demand in the past month.

In addition, Guangxi is also tightening restrictions on electricity use for smelters this month. Analysts said this may shut down about 50 tons of annual production capacity.

2.1. Nanshan Aluminum: The production line with an annual output of 9 tons of power battery foil plans to trial production in September

Nanshan Aluminum: Ningde Times, BYD, Guoxuan Hi-Tech and other leading companies in the industry are all customers of the company’s power battery foil products.The battery foil currently produced by the company is converted from the original packaging production line. The dedicated power battery foil production line with an annual output of 2.1 tons is planned to enter trial production in September. After the project reaches production, the company’s high-quality power battery foil products can at least reach the annual output 9 tons.

XNUMX. Huatai Futures: Overview of the domestic secondary aluminum industry

After 2010 until now, large domestic secondary aluminum production enterprises have begun to emerge.And with the issuance of guidance documents such as the “Notice of the State Council on Printing and Distributing the “Thirteenth Five-Year” Ecological Environmental Protection Plan” and the “Notice on Promoting the Agglomeration and Development of Bulk Solid Waste Comprehensive Utilization Industry”, as of 2020, my country’s secondary aluminum production capacity will reach approximately To reach 1,200 million tons/year, the actual recycled aluminum output in 2020 is about 750 million tons.

At present, the ceiling of 4,500 million tons of electrolytic aluminum production capacity has been determined, combined with the current national policy of “carbon peak” and “carbon neutral”, compared with primary aluminum, secondary aluminum has significant advantages in energy saving and emission reduction in the production process ( Carbon emissions per ton of recycled aluminum are only 2.1% of that of primary aluminum per ton).Therefore, the annual output of 2025 million tons set in the “1,150th Five-Year Plan” in XNUMX will be completed with a high probability, or even be greatly exceeded.

However, the current secondary aluminum industry also has problems such as the gradual surplus of production capacity. In the future, it is not ruled out that the possibility of focusing on eliminating inefficient redundant production capacity will be eliminated.In addition, the lack of recovery channels will also increase the additional tax burden of secondary aluminum companies, which is mainly reflected in the problem of the inability to issue value-added tax input invoices.Finally, if the reasonable and efficient production capacity of recycled aluminum can continue to be put into use in the future, so as to continuously replace primary aluminum, then whether the raw material of recycled aluminum production will gradually become tense will also need to be monitored continuously.

7. National Bureau of Statistics: China’s primary aluminum output in July was 326 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 7.4%

News from the National Bureau of Statistics on August 16: The output of ten non-ferrous metals in July was 5.37 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 7.1%, and the output from January to July was 37.87 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 10.5%.

Among them, the output of primary aluminum (electrolytic aluminum) in July was 3.26 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 7.4%. The output from January to July was 22.89 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 9.5%
