The British government has announced that it will implement a new import carbon tax mechanism by 2027, imposing a tax on imports from countries with low carbon tax prices or no carbon tax, to ensure that imports are equivalent to the carbon tax on products produced in the UK. The carbon tax targets mainly include carbon-intensive products such as steel, hydrogen, ceramics, glass and cement . Globally
, carbon peak and carbon neutralization have become a consensus. All countries are trying to reduce carbon emissions, and the cement industry, as a key industry of carbon emission control, bears an important responsibility. Jeremy Hunt, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, said he hoped that by imposing a carbon tax on imports, Britain's decarbonization efforts would eventually drive global emissions reductions.
In November, Taiwan Cement announced that it would increase its stake in Turkey's OYAK Cement Joint Venture and Portugal's Cimpor Cement Joint Venture by up to NT 26.6 billion yuan (equivalent to about RMB 6.05 billion yuan). This time, Taiwan Cement expanded its shareholding, mainly focusing on the two companies 'leading low-carbon cement R & D and production technology in the world. Zhang Anping, chairman of Taiwan Cement, said that companies that do not understand carbon will not be able to survive in the future, and low carbon is absolutely an international market.
The domestic cement industry is facing such problems as increasingly fierce market competition, sharp shrinkage of industry profits, imminent cost reduction and efficiency enhancement, and urgent elimination of backward production capacity. The long-term competition of cement industry is the competition of energy consumption level. To do a good job of energy saving and emission reduction is not only the requirement of cement industry to achieve carbon neutrality, but also the key for cement enterprises to enhance their comprehensive strength and market competitiveness and stand in an invincible position in the market.
With the decline of demand and the increasingly prominent contradiction between production and demand, the high cost of energy-saving and carbon-reducing technological transformation has become a major difficulty faced by many enterprises. At present, the domestic macro-environment with "double carbon" as the core has been improved, and continuously guiding the transformation of carbon reduction in the cement industry will become an important task for the country in the next step.
Therefore, the cement industry should recognize the changes in the situation, constantly promote carbon emission reduction, and actively plan for carbon neutralization and layout of new development. Cement enterprises should also actively "prepare for war" carbon neutralization, seize the opportunity of preferential policies, do what they can, increase the intensity of energy-saving and emission-reduction technological transformation, improve the level of cost reduction and efficiency, so as to achieve high-quality development.
Nowadays, China's cement industry is actively implementing the task of energy saving and consumption reduction, promoting digital and intelligent upgrading, and achieving the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutralization. In order to promote the transformation, upgrading and high-quality development of the industry, the "2023 Cement Enterprise Influence Selection" campaign will come as scheduled, and the "2023 Cement Industry Low Carbon Pioneer" will be selected . The award ceremony will be held at the "2024 China Cement Industry Summit" .
A galaxy of talents, the hot registration continues..
