Data Center Demand to Double Australia’s Electricity Demand by 2050

The Ministry of Commerce and six other departments have formulated the Special Rectification Action Plan for Illegal Recycling and Dismantling of Retired Motor Vehicles, which is hereby issued. The plan highlights the rectification of the illegal sale of retired motor vehicle parts. Actions will be taken, in accordance with laws and regulations, against behaviors such as selling used NEV power batteries to organizations or individuals other than recycling service outlets or comprehensive utilization enterprises, refusing to submit traceability information or submitting false information, and selling or reselling dismantled used ternary catalytic converters to enterprises without proper processing qualifications. The parts registration ledgers of retired motor vehicle recycling enterprises will be checked. For cases where a large number of parts are missing, reverse investigations will be conducted to determine whether the enterprises collaborated with illegal recycling and dismantling "black workshops," receiving retired vehicles with certain parts removed and issuing "Recycling Certificates" in violation of regulations. The standardized use of national marks for remanufactured auto parts will be supervised. Illegal activities such as illegally refurbishing the "five major assemblies" and ternary catalytic converters of retired vehicles, and selling unqualified remanufactured parts without the "remanufactured product" label, will be investigated and dealt with according to the law.
