创新绿电投资模式,推动电解铝行业脱碳
Zhong Guo Huan Jing Bao· 2025-05-19 23:21
钢铁、水泥和铝冶炼3个行业被纳入全国碳市场,三者都是高碳排产业,但排放源有所不同。钢铁和水 泥行业的碳排放主要来自生产制程(制造业中的一系列生产流程和环节),而铝冶炼行业的碳排放主要 来自电力使用。因此,铝冶炼的脱碳关键在于电力绿化,包括以绿电投资来推动绿电的开发和使用。 铝产业链的环节有铝矿开采、氧化铝生成、电解制铝、铝材加工等,其中电解环节的碳排放最多,约占 总量的70%。铝冶炼采用"冰晶石—氧化铝熔盐电解"工艺,涉及以氧化铝作为电解质,以碳素材料作为 电极。这个流程在直流电作用下发生电化学反应,氧化铝与碳阳极的还原反应产生二氧化碳,在阴极析 出铝液。以全球平均数来看,每吨铝阳极氧化过程产生的直接碳排放约为两吨CO2,其余则为电力相关 的间接碳排放。 我国电解铝的用电以传统煤电为主,各家厂商的电力碳排放虽会受到当地电网及其自备电力碳强度的影 响,但行业的平均电力相关碳强度约为12吨CO2 /吨铝,其中75%来自煤电排放。因此,煤电"换绿"是我 国电解铝脱碳的关键。 然而,绿电投资的资金金额大,回报周期长,收益不确定,开发风险高,民间资本的参与意愿不足。对 此,电解铝厂商可与电力产业共同探索可行投资模式,如 ...
