For new (including reconstruction and expansion) construction projects, there is a planned time for ignition and production in the capacity replacement plan, but for supplementing the capacity of the original project, it has been in production since the ignition and production, and there is no expansion, so how to plan time for ignition and production? It should be the time for re-filing (or modification) after the original project replenishes its production capacity and completes other corresponding procedures requiring the approval of relevant departments. That is to say, from this moment on, the original project is "new" compliance. The planned ignition and production time should be changed to the project capacity compliance time.

In view of the problems of declining profits of cement enterprises hindering green transformation and narrowing the space for energy saving and carbon reduction, Ye Jiayuan proposed that cement enterprises should not forget to innovate no matter how difficult it is. Innovation should not only be limited to low-carbon areas, but also open up ideas and plan digital upgrading and intelligent transformation as early as possible according to their own conditions. In the implementation of digital and intelligent transformation, it should be linked with low-carbon as far as possible. If digital intelligence leaves the foothold of low carbon, digital intelligence is likely to be hollow, and it is likely to become a castle in the air, which is not useful, but a burden for enterprises.
