Gao Dengbang went to Fujian and Guangdong provinces to investigate the high-quality development of the cement industry

2023, Gao Dengbang, President of China Cement Association, made a special trip to Fujian Province and Guangdong Province to conduct a survey on the high-quality development of the cement industry. He Youdong, President of Fujian Building Materials Industry Association, and Gao Xudong, Deputy Director of the Secretariat of China Cement Association, accompanied the investigation.

President

Gao Dengbang listened carefully to the production and operation of the cement enterprises in 2023, and expressed his appreciation for the persistence and progress of the enterprises in the current difficulties facing the development of the industry. President Gao emphasized that the prerequisite and foundation for the high-quality development of the cement industry is the stability and improvement of the industry's efficiency. With the change and development of the national economic situation, the situation of overcapacity in the cement industry has become increasingly apparent. At present and in a certain period of time in the future, the primary task of the cement industry is still to reduce capacity. Measures to reduce production capacity in the cement industry must be scientific and effective, actively promote the use of energy consumption "double control", carbon "double control", ultra-low emission, product quality and other comprehensive standards as a means to reduce production capacity, realize the effective withdrawal of backward production capacity, and then realize the upgrading and transformation of the industry, so as to promote the realization of high-quality development goals in the cement industry. During his

stay in Fujian, President Gao Dengbang visited Fujian Port and Shipping Group and had in-depth communication with Chairman Chen Zhiping on the logistics and transportation of the cement industry. President Gao Dengbang pointed out that cement products and their raw materials, as bulk materials, are highly dependent on and require logistics transportation. Under the background of "double carbon", adjusting and optimizing the logistics transportation structure of cement industry is of positive significance for reducing the carbon footprint of cement industry.

On December 6, President Gao Dengbang went to Sanming City, Fujian Province to have in-depth exchanges with relevant leaders of the Municipal Committee and the Municipal Government. Sanming Municipal Party Secretary Li Xinghu, Mayor Li Chun and other city leaders received President Gao Dengbang and his delegation. President Gao Dengbang thanked Sanming City for its attention and support to the development of the cement industry. He pointed out that Sanming's cement clinker production capacity exceeds 20 million tons, which is an important cement production base in Fujian Province and has made great contributions to the economic construction and development of Fujian Province. At present, the development of cement industry in Fujian Province is facing difficulties. It is hoped that Sanming City will continue to support the local cement enterprises to take positive measures to stabilize growth and increase efficiency, so as to contribute to the transformation, upgrading and sustainable development of the cement industry in Sanming City.
