This set of exciting data shows that in the past year, the development of aluminum and aluminum processing upstream and downstream industries in my state has shown steady progress, improved structure, improved quality and efficiency, and enhanced vitality. Coal, power grid, anode carbon, electrolytic aluminum, and aluminum wheels seem to have no origin, but are closely related. The conversion of coal into electricity - which is incorporated into the local power grid and transmitted to industrial parks - attracts upstream and downstream enterprises centered on aluminum to continuously gather - and eventually form a multi-billion industrial cluster.
Coal is the first link in this industrial cluster line.
Qianxinan Prefecture is rich in coal and power resources, and is an important part of Yungui Coal base, one of the 13 large-scale coal bases planned by the state. By the end of 2023, 84 coal mines had been merged, restructured and retained, with a production and construction scale of 43.65 million tons; The power supply in the state has two main bodies, the Southern power grid and the local power grid, and the 220 kV lines of the local power grid have covered the main industrial parks in the state, realizing the interconnection between the Southern power grid and the local power grid.
In recent years, my state has transformed its resource advantage into a development advantage, adhered to the principle of "enriching and fine opening", promoted the transformation and upgrading of coal mining enterprises by grasping the leading coal industry, realized the local transformation and value-added of coal, and built a whole-chain energy industry pattern of "coal as the basis, electricity as the carrier, network as the core, and production as the terminal". Drive downstream thermal power, power grid, aluminum and aluminum processing industry development.
Coal and power grid are the important foundation of Qianxinan Prefecture's industrial development, and are the most prominent comparative advantages.
Thanks to the advantages of local power grid electricity prices, Xingrendeng high electric electrolyzing aluminum, Guizhou Yuanhao Aluminum, Guizhou Luxing Carbon, Guizhou Longkai, Zhenhua New materials and other major industrial projects with high technical content, good growth and strong driving force have settled in southwest Guizhou, laying a solid foundation for the development of new industrialization in the whole state.
Anode carbon, as the core material for the production of electrolytic aluminum, is also the upstream industry of the whole industrial chain of the electrolytic aluminum integration project. In March, walking into Guizhou Luxing Carbon New Materials Co., LTD., located in the Basing Industrial Park of Xingren City, the production workshop was busy, and the workers were straining to make orders at each production site.
The production of anode carbon project in Hinggren City's Baling Heavy Industry Park depends on the local market potential and cost advantages. For Xingren City and even Qianxinan Prefecture, anode carbon project is a key step to realize the integration of coal, electricity and aluminum, and the construction of "coal power grid aluminum +" circular economy industrial cluster, and it is also a new way to accelerate high-quality development.
"There are about 10 million tons of electrolytic aluminum market in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, and 5 million tons of carbon materials are needed every year, which is a huge market potential for the company." Chen Wenhua, minister of the Administration department of Luxing Carbon New Materials Co., LTD., said that in 2024, the company has received 770,000 tons of orders, heavy production tasks, the company will improve production and quality through technology research and development and other measures to ensure the completion of the annual target task.
