Gao Yuzong: It Is the General Trend for Cement Enterprises to Adopt Alternative Fuels

On April 24, the "China Cement Industry Green Development Summit Forum and Ultra-clean Emission Technology Exchange Conference" sponsored by China Cement Network was successfully held in Changsha, Hunan Province. Gao Yuzong, senior consultant of

China Cement Network, brought the theme report of Alternative Fuel Technology. He said that the cement manufacturing industry is a major energy consumer and carbon emitter in the building materials industry. At present, many cements have begun to use alternative fuels in pursuit of reducing production costs and carbon emissions. Through the transformation of green, low-carbon and environmental protection, we can strive for more benefits and living space for enterprises themselves. Gao Yuzong

, senior consultant of

China Cement Network, pointed out that in the past two years, with the rise of coal prices, the production cost pressure of cement production enterprises is greater, and enterprises are also thinking about how to deal with it. Especially under the requirements of the dual-carbon target, the cement industry will soon be incorporated into the carbon trading system, the future carbon dioxide emission rights need real gold and silver to support, the cost impact on enterprises is gradually increasing, the use of alternative fuels is the general trend. Most cement companies have begun to actively explore and gradually use alternative fuels.

Gao Yuzong believes that the use of alternative fuels in China's cement industry has great potential for development. Most cement companies are still not using alternative fuels. Under the current technical conditions, it is technically feasible for China's cement industry to achieve a fuel substitution rate of about 40%. It is not excluded that individual enterprises in individual regions can achieve a substitution rate of 80% or even higher under special conditions. The final substitution rate mainly depends on the market and policies. However, at this stage, we should focus on promoting biomass alternative fuels.
