According to the mainland's plan, strive to reach the "carbon peak" by 2030, achieve "carbon neutrality" by 2060, in order to achieve the "two carbon" goal, all walks of life are promoting carbon emission trading and actively developing green industries.
The most typical is the automotive industry, in the past few years, the share of new energy vehicles has continued to increase, according to the data released by the Federation of Passenger Transporters, in 2021, the sales of new energy vehicles were 2.989 million units, an increase of 169.1% year-on-year, and the penetration rate was 14.8%.
At the same time, the association also raised its forecast for new energy vehicle sales in 2022, believing that the overall sales volume is expected to exceed 6 million units, when the market penetration rate will increase to about 22%.
More critically, in early April, BYD, the largest domestic new energy vehicle company, has officially determined that in the future, the company will focus on pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles in the automotive sector, and stop the production of fuel vehicles from March 2022.
BYD's initiative to take the lead in deciding to stop production of fuel vehicles shocked the entire industry, which means that BYD has become the world's first 100% de-fueled traditional car company, and also represents that the new energy automobile industry is about to enter a new era
BYD's announcement of the suspension of fuel vehicles has a great impact on the new energy automobile industry? You should know that in the Chinese market, BYD has become the fifth largest car company.
According to the data released by the Association for January and March 2022, BYD's retail sales in the first quarter of this year were 287363 vehicles, an increase of 182.8% year-on-year, and its share has increased to 5.8%.
BYD's suspension of production of fuel vehicles means that every vehicle sold in the future is a new energy vehicle, which is of great significance for the mainland to achieve the "double carbon" goal, and I believe that there will be more traditional car companies to join in the future.
With the new stage of the mainland new energy automobile industry shifting from policy-driven to market-driven, the market will show a development trend of both scale and quality, and the future will be a good trend.
However, the mainland new energy industry is still facing a very serious problem, the current new energy vehicles are mainly using lithium batteries, and lithium ore raw materials and metal cobalt, metal nickel required for lithium batteries, all need to rely heavily on imports.
Although domestic lithium ore resources are there, they are very rare, and they are mainly stored in salt lakes, which is not only difficult to extract, but also of general quality, so at present, it is mainly based on imported lithium ore raw materials, accounting for 70% of the required amount.
Metal cobalt and metal nickel also need to be highly dependent on imports, once the relevant supply sanctions abroad, will greatly affect the development of the mainland new energy automobile industry, so in such a situation, we need to find a new breakthrough point.
A few days ago, Gan Yong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, clarified the development direction of "electric China", and he emphasized the importance of rare earth permanent magnet materials in the future development, because magnetic materials will play a huge role in energy reform.
There are 63.4% of rare earth permanent magnet materials in magnetic materials, so making full use of rare earth resources, you can firmly grasp the future direction in your own hands, no longer limited by foreign enterprises, after all, the mainland is a rare earth country, with reserves accounting for about 23% of the world's total reserves.
In addition, the academician also pointed out that the mainland is expected to achieve breakthroughs in key core technologies such as rare earth permanent magnet motors and large-size silicon carbide single crystals in 2025, and at the same time promote the industrialization of new solar cells, thermoelectric materials, solid-state batteries, and sodium-ion batteries.
According to the plan, the mainland is expected to build a world-class battery, motor, and electronic control research and development platform by 2030, and promote the large-scale commercial use of new solar cells, solid-state batteries, sodium-ion batteries, rare earth permanent magnet motors, and silicon carbide high-power devices.
This can not only allow us to enter the era of "de-fueling", but also can effectively save electricity, if magnetic materials are used in the manufacturing of permanent magnet motors and inverter home appliances, instead of 60% of the traditional motors and home appliances, can save 250 billion kWh of electricity per year, reduce 350 million tons of carbon emissions.
At that time, the mainland will have absolute technical and material dominance in the new energy industry, and will also truly achieve the goal of "electric China". What do you think about this, welcome to comment, like, share.
