Countermeasures to Realize Ecological Restoration and Emission Reduction and Increase of Sinks in Mining Areas under the Background of Carbon Neutrality

Abstract

China is a big consuming country of mineral resources. In the process of ensuring industrialization and urbanization, greenhouse gases generated by energy consumption have caused serious ecological problems. China made a commitment to the international community in 2021 to achieve carbon neutrality in 2060 and change the extensive development model of high energy consumption with high-quality development. The main source of energy consumption in China is coal resources. In the context of global “carbon neutrality”, achieving carbon neutrality in mining areas has become an important way for China to realize the overall layout of ecological civilization construction in the new era of socialism in China. Based on the analysis of the ecological system carbon emissions caused by mining area mining, this paper deeply analyzes the current status of ecological restoration in China's mining areas, and specifically proposes "establishing the awareness of carbon sequestration and increasing sinks, deepening carbon sequestration mechanism research", "saving and intensive research". Land use, reducing carbon emission equivalent”, “optimizing restoration technologies, enhancing carbon sequestration capacity” and “accelerating industrial integration, innovating restoration models” and other countermeasures to achieve carbon neutrality in mining areas, are for the ecological restoration of mining areas in the context of carbon neutrality in the new era Point out the direction in order to provide the necessary reference for China to achieve "carbon peak and carbon neutrality".
