利用加拿大资源加强全球电动汽车供应链

🔊 朗读

 

从采矿、制造到充电，加拿大工商业和工人们正在吸引历史性的投资，投入本国的电动汽 车供应链。 当电动汽车由加拿大矿产制成，由加拿大汽车工人组装，并使用加拿大生产 的充电器供电时，我们就能确保并创造就业机会，增长我们的经济，并保持我们现在和未 来的空气清洁。

1 月 16 日，贾斯廷·特鲁多总理会见了加拿大第一家稀土生产商 Vital Metals 在萨斯卡通 工厂的工人们。稀土元素是用于电动汽车和风力涡轮机等清洁技术的关键矿物。加拿大联 邦政府最近宣布了 500 万元的投资，用以帮助在该工厂建立加工和生产，这是联邦系列 投资的一部分，以支持就业以及加拿大在关键矿产领域的增长。

关键矿物是清洁经济的基石，全球需求量不断增加。加拿大于 2022 年 12 月发布了本国 首个《关键矿产战略》（Critical Minerals Strategy/ Stratégie canadienne sur les minéraux critiques），这是推进加拿大成为全球关键矿产首选供应地的路线图。

加拿大工人和企业已经在清洁能源和技术以及其中的组件方面处于领先地位。 随着需求 的持续增长，推进加拿大成为这一领域的可靠供应地将创造更多的加拿大就业机会、增长 我们的经济并减少污染以帮助抗击气候变化。 

引述

加拿大总理贾斯廷·特鲁多阁下：

“世界需要清洁技术，而加拿大具备资源、专业知识和技能娴熟的工人来满足这一需求。 通过在加拿大开发和加工我们的关键矿产（这是清洁技术供应链的第一步），我们可以创 造良好的、中产的就业机会，同时为子孙后代保持空气清洁。” 

事实简要 

· 关键矿物对清洁技术、医疗护理、航空航天和计算等全球主要产业至关重要。它们 被用于太阳能电池板、手机和电脑，并是电动汽车生产的不可或缺的部分。永磁体 和稀土元素是电动汽车电机和许多清洁技术应用的重要投入。 

· 加拿大的《关键矿产战略》得到了联邦政府高达 38 亿加元的支持，在《2022 年 预算》中宣布。拟议的资金涵盖整个关键矿物供应链，从地球科学和勘探到矿物加 工、制造和回收应用，包括对研究、开发和技术运用的支持。 

· 萨斯喀彻温省是加拿大生产可持续关键矿物的领导者，拥有丰富的铀供应。该省是 世界上最大的钾肥生产地，是世界上最可持续之钾肥矿的所在地。

· 最近联邦对关键矿物发展的投资包括通过战略创新基金投入最高 2.22 亿元，以帮 助力拓铁钛公司（Rio Tinto Fer et Titane）增加其关键矿物的生产，还通过战略创 新基金的净零加速器倡议向 E3 锂业有限公司投入 2700 万元。 

· 加拿大目前在 200 个矿场生产 60 种矿物和金属。 

· Vital Metals 公司是加拿大的第一家稀土矿商。该公司在西北地区的 Nechalacho 矿区对矿石进行粉碎和分类，然后将矿石送到萨斯卡通的稀土提取厂。

Strengthening global electric vehicle supply chains with Canadian resources

January 16, 2023 Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Prime Minister’s Office

From mining, to manufacturing, to charging, Canadian businesses and workers are attracting historic investments in the electric vehicle supply chain. When electric vehicles are made from Canadian minerals, assembled by Canadian auto workers, and powered at Canadian-made chargers, we secure and create jobs, grow our economy, and keep our air clean now and into the future.

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today met with workers at the Saskatoon facility of Vital Metals, Canada’s first rare earths producer. Rare earth elements are a critical mineral used in clean technology like electric vehicles and wind turbines. The Government of Canada recently announced $5 million in funding to help establish processing and production at this facility, part of a series of federal investments to support jobs and the growth of Canada’s critical minerals sector.

Critical minerals are the building blocks of the clean economy and are in increasing demand globally. Canada’s first Critical Minerals Strategy, released in December 2022, is a roadmap to make Canada a global supplier of choice for critical minerals.

Canadian workers and businesses are already leading on clean energy and technology, and the components that go into it. As demand continues to grow, positioning Canada as a reliable supplier will create even more Canadian jobs, grow our economy, and cut pollution to help fight climate change.

Quote 

“The world wants clean technology, and Canada has the resources, the expertise, and the skilled workers to meet that demand. By developing and processing our critical minerals here in Canada – the first step in the clean technology supply chain – we can create good middle-class jobs all while keeping our air clean for generations to come.”

The Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada

Quick Facts 

· Critical minerals are central to major global industries like clean technology, health care, aerospace, and computing. They are used in solar panels, phones, and computers, and are vital to produce electric vehicles. Permanent magnets and rare earth elements are important inputs into electric vehicle motors and many clean technology applications.

· Canada’s Critical Minerals Strategy is backed by up to $3.8 billion in federal support, announced in Budget 2022. The proposed funding covers the whole critical minerals supply chain, from geoscience and exploration to mineral processing, manufacturing, and recycling applications, including support for research, development, and technological deployment.

· Saskatchewan is a Canadian leader in producing sustainable critical minerals, with a rich supply of uranium. The world’s largest producer of potash, the province is home to the world’s most sustainable potash mine.

· Recent federal investments in the development of critical minerals include a contribution of up to $222 million through the Strategic Innovation Fund to help Rio Tinto Fer et Titane to increase its production of critical minerals and a $27 million contribution to E3 Lithium Ltd. through the Strategic Innovation Fund’s Net Zero Accelerator initiative.

· Canada currently produces 60 minerals and metals at 200 mines.

· Vital Metals is Canada’s first rare earths miner. The company crushes and sorts ore at the Nechalacho mine in the Northwest Territories, before sending the ore to the Saskatoon rare earths extraction plant.
