Where to go for enterprises with soaring magnesium prices

Recently, the price of magnesium ingots has soared, which has really made the price of magnesium hot. Behind the rise, it not only affects the application of magnesium to a certain extent, but also increases the pressure on magnesium ingot production enterprises. As the magnesium ingot manufacturers said, the rise in magnesium ingot prices is not only due to the impact of rising raw material prices, but also due to the pressure of environmental protection.

From July 14 to August 7, the fourth eco-environmental supervision team of Shaanxi Province carried out the second round of routine inspections of eco-environmental protection in Yulin City. The inspection team found that 115 of the blue charcoal devices listed for phase-out had not been dismantled in place. Among them, 60 units of 9 households did not stop production on schedule; of the 82 enterprises included in the upgrading, most of them did not meet the standards, and 44 units of 13 households had the problem of being built before approval; and 171 blue carbon plants supporting metal magnesium in 12 households of Fugu County are still in production, and measures for elimination and upgrading have not yet been determined.

This is tricky and fatal for energy-consuming magnesium ingot manufacturers. In the face of the new requirements of environmental protection, enterprises should carry out transformation accordingly. But what is more serious is the energy consumption control under the background of "double carbon". According to the actual consumption of coal consumption index in the first three quarters, Fugu County formulates the quota of reduction index in the fourth quarter, which makes the magnesium enterprises that use up some consumption indicators face the situation of stopping production. So far, 11 magnesium enterprises have been affected.

Magnesium enterprises are facing double cost pressure, on the one hand, the soaring of raw materials such as coal, ferrosilicon, on the other hand, facing the pressure of environmental protection, magnesium prices soar to 31000 yuan / ton behind the factors, but also magnesium enterprises passive helplessness.

Double pressure, in the short term, the impact of enterprises is greater, but for the magnesium industry is not necessarily a bad thing. This is the call of the general environment. As the magnesium industry has gone through a period of high energy consumption and entered an integration period characterized by technological upgrading, we need more magnesium smelting processes, new equipment design and more exploration under the new situation. In this context, it is the right way for enterprises to take the road of research and development.

In the face of rising raw material prices, the state issued relevant norms to curb further price rises. For example, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, began to "curb coal prices for a hundred days" to further standardize the price behavior of the coal market, and severely crack down on illegal acts such as coal enterprise sales prices rising too fast or too high, colluding to raise prices, or driving up prices. In the face of environmental protection problems, the management of enterprises still needs to be further improved, and the core technology and product quality still need to be improved. In the new competitive environment, only when enterprises make great efforts in equipment upgrading and transformation, can they win users and open up the market.

It is hoped that the magnesium industry will usher in an era of innovation that will revive its vitality.
