Announced by China's National Development and Reform Commission on 7 July 2021, with the 14th Five Year Plan on Circular Economy, China aims to improve overall resource utilisation capacity, build a resource recycling industrial system, and develop the circular economy by 2025. The plan sets ambitious targets for resource productivity and recycling, while also emphasising the need for technological innovation and industry development in the battery recycling sector.

Key Numerical Targets for recycling of critical minerals:

Increase resources productivity by 20% compared to 2020 levels.

Produce 20 million tonnes of recycled non-ferrous metals.

Increase the output value of the resource recycling industry to RMB 5 trillion (US$773 billion).

Key Tasks and Implementation Items:

Building a resource recycling industry system and improving resource utilisation efficiency.

Building a recycling system for waste materials and fostering a recycling-oriented society.

Promoting recycling in key areas such as urban areas and industrial parks.

Reusing large amounts of solid waste and construction waste.

Advancing technological innovation for the circular economy.

Promoting industrial equipment remanufacturing.

Recycling waste electronic and electrical equipment and waste plastics.

Promoting automobile life cycle management.

Reducing packaging waste from online products.

Recycling waste power batteries from new energy vehicles.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment are tasked with implementing activities related to waste power battery recycling, specifically to:

Establish a traceability management system for collection and recycling.

Create a recycling service network in collaboration with new energy vehicle manufacturers and waste power battery cascade utilisation companies.

Improve technology for residual capacity detection, repackaging, and safety management to promote cascade use of waste power batteries.

Disseminate advanced technologies for recycling and cascade use.

Systematise standards for waste power battery recycling.

Foster enterprises engaged in waste power battery recycling and promote industry development.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

The Race to Solve Nuclear Energy’s Biggest Problem

Nuclear power is growing in popularity once again as governments worldwide look to diversify their energy mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Several countries are now looking to develop or expand their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades. However, one challenge remains – nuclear waste. Disposing of waste materials from nuclear energy operations remains a complex task with no perfect solution. As countries worldwide have grown their nuclear power capacity, many governments are still struggling to decide on the best solution…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
