This is Peng Shou's 12th year in office, and accelerating the cultivation of new quality productivity in the field of new materials is the focus of his attention this year. As a spokesman for the "material" industry, the three proposals he submitted this year are closely related to the development of the material industry. During the two sessions, Peng Shou was interviewed by a reporter from China Building Materials magazine.
★ Strengthening the security of strategic mineral resources to ensure the stability
of industrial chain and supply chain "Strategic mineral resources are an important component of China's mineral security strategy and an irreplaceable important material basis for the development of strategic emerging industries and national defense military technology. Its independent stability is related to the national economy, people's livelihood and national security." Following the proposal submitted the year before last on strengthening the development of basic raw materials to ensure the safety of national strategic industries, Peng Shou once again paid attention to this topic this year.
In his research, he found that there are prominent problems in the development of China's strategic mineral resources, which are mainly reflected in the "three rises": First, the proportion of external dependence on minerals has risen, with more than 2/3 of the 36 strategic mineral resources having an external dependence of more than 65%; Second, the concentration of overseas mineral supply is rising, with about 95% of imported cobalt ore, 85% of iron ore and 60% of nickel ore coming from Australia, Brazil, Congo (Kinshasa) and other countries in the Strategic Mineral Initiative Alliance of the United States; third, the security risk of mineral resources is rising, the increase in reserves and mineral production continue to decline, and the domestic effective supply capacity has been low for a long time.
To this end, Peng Shou proposed to formulate and improve the planning system of scarce mineral resources and lay out major projects for innovation and tackling key problems in the whole industrial chain of strategic minerals.
Peng Shou believes that top-level design should be strengthened, focusing on the current shortage of mineral resources such as high-purity quartz and lithium, accelerating the development of geological exploration, mineral exploration and development and other individual planning, implementing the SPE cial action of prospecting breakthrough strategy, creating a continuation area of resource strategy, and promoting the development of mineral resources. It will also give priority support to the distribution of productive forces, infrastructure construction, resource allocation and related industrial policies, so as to increase the reserves and production of mineral resources. In terms of major projects for innovation and tackling key problems in the whole industry chain of
strategic minerals, he proposed that the list of key technologies in the whole industry chain of mineral resources that need to be broken through urgently should be sorted out, such as metallogenic theory of high-purity quartz resources, resource evaluation, purification and processing, application technology, etc., and that major projects should be set up to carry out full-chain innovation to alleviate the constraints of scarce mineral resources. Strengthen the strategic guidance of superior mineral resources, improve the development and utilization of strategic mineral resources and the level of industrial quality, and accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system of strategic mineral resources.
★ Accelerating the transformation of advantageous basic industries and enabling new quality productivity
"Promoting new industrialization requires not only the leadership of emerging industries and future industries, but also the support of basic industries." In Peng Shou's view, China's iron and steel, non-ferrous metals, chemical industry, building materials and other basic industries are in the leading position in the world, which is the basic plate for China to maintain its status as the world's largest manufacturing country. However, the basic industries are still labeled as "big but not strong" and "complete but not refined", which are mainly manifested in the coexistence of excess low-end supply and insufficient high-end supply, weak innovation ability and weak industrial foundation. At the same time, facing the constraints of tightening resource constraints and rising factor costs, the comparative advantages are gradually disappearing, and the consolidation and promotion of competitive advantages are facing challenges.
"To continuously promote China's manufacturing industry to the middle and high end of the global value chain and accelerate the realization of new industrialization, we must speed up the transformation of superior basic industries and build new development advantages with new quality productivity." Peng Shou put forward three suggestions for this purpose.
The first is to support the building materials industry to take the lead in digital transformation evaluation. Deeply carry out case studies on digital transformation of intelligent manufacturing in building materials industry, explore and formulate evaluation criteria for digital transformation of subdivided industries, accelerate the popularization and application of digital products, services and solutions by setting up digital access and carrying out benchmarking demonstrations, continuously improve the level of digitalization and intellectualization of the industry, and contribute to the digital transformation of advantageous basic industries.
Secondly, we should strengthen the quality improvement and application support of advanced products. To formulate a catalogue of advanced products with advantages, and special policies to support downstream enterprises to import and apply advanced products with advantages. In the layout of the National Quality Standard Laboratory, priority should be given to supporting new materials with advanced technology, strong strategic support, high supply chain security and great international influence, such as the National Quality Standard Laboratory for Functional Glass, so as to continuously improve the quality base and the development level of the industrial chain.
In addition, he also suggested encouraging leading enterprises in superior basic industries to "go out" and build overseas parks for superior advanced products. Give policy support and financial support to leading enterprises, integrate foreign information, technology, supporting and other resources, promote the transformation from the export of superior advanced products to the construction of superior parks and the export of superior industries, expand the scale advantage, enhance the technological advantage, establish the brand advantage, and promote the high quality of "one belt and one road" and the sustainable development of the global economy.
★ Under the leadership of leading
domestic enterprises, China has innovated and transformed green materials such as copper indium gallium selenide thin film power generation glass with the highest photoelectric conversion rate in the world and a new generation of fully transparent cadmium telluride thin film power generation glass, and its material technology level is in the international advanced ranks. However, the overall application penetration rate is still at a low level.
"China's green materials still need to be further strengthened in scientific and technological innovation, policy guidance, standard construction, institutional mechanisms and other aspects, and the first-mover advantage of materials has not been fully transformed into a sustained leading advantage." Peng Shou believes that it is necessary to establish a green material ecosphere with application orientation as the main body in order to truly realize the high-quality development of China's green low-carbon industry. In the interview,
he said that green materials are an important material basis for the construction of China's new energy system. Faced with the strong constraints of resources, energy and ecological environment and the hard task of the national double-carbon target, accelerating the innovative application of green materials and building a full-chain ecosphere have become an inevitable choice for China to cultivate new advantages, new momentum and new tracks for green and low-carbon development.
"It is suggested to speed up the formulation and promulgation of national standards for the application of green materials such as thin film power generation glass." Peng Shou believes that we should speed up the construction of green material standard system, covering material preparation, product certification, green application, testing and acceptance, promote the coordinated development of green materials and green building standards, the interactive development of standardization and scientific and technological innovation, and continuously stimulate the new momentum of green transformation.
He also suggested further formulating and issuing mandatory policies for the application of green materials. New green materials are mandatory for new buildings and renovation of existing buildings, carbon emission reduction targets for new buildings are defined, and green products such as thin film power generation glass and energy storage batteries are mandatory for government public procurement and market investment projects, so as to continuously improve the policy system and provide top-level guidance for the development of green materials.
In addition, specialized institutions should be established to accelerate the process of international testing, evaluation and certification of new green materials. Focusing on application norms, technology integration, standard establishment, certification and identification, we should gather resources and concentrate our efforts to build an international standard working mechanism with government guidance, enterprise main body and industry-university-research linkage, strengthen all-round benchmarking and systematic integration at home and abroad, break through institutional obstacles, and let green materials, green products and green standards go to the world.
