Abstract: Against the backdrop of the “dual carbon” goal becoming the main consensus in China, metal resources, serving as the fundamental pillar supporting industrialization, are also the critical raw materials ensuring the green and low-carbon transformation of modern energy systems. The traditional utilization mode of metal resources has emerged with the evolution of national industrialization process, driven by technological progress and industrial structure changes, showing the characteristics of demand driven supply and demand stages, the structural characteristics of joint production of carrier metals and associated metals, the social characteristics of metal consumption accumulating into social stock, and a series of problems such as resource and environmental constraints, structural uncertainty in the supply of associated metals, and insufficient development and utilization of social stock. Considering the above factors, the utilization path of metal resources under the “dual carbon” goal is mainly aimed at the optimization and low-carbon transformation of the entire metal resources industry chain system, from focusing on quantity and speed to focusing on efficiency and balance, specifically including: coordinating metal utilization and ecological civilization construction; improve the utilization efficiency and optimize the structure of the entire metal industry chain; recycling metals by developing technology, early design, and establishing policy incentive mechanisms.
