From September 1 to 8, the Environmental Resources Department of the National Development and Reform Commission interviewed the responsible comrades of the Development and Reform Commission of Hubei, Shaanxi, Gansu and Qinghai provinces on the lagging progress of the "14th Five-Year Plan" energy-saving target.
is increasing rapidly, and energy efficiency is improving slowly . After deducting the consumption of raw materials and renewable energy, the decline of energy intensity is still lagging behind the "14th Five-Year Plan" target progress requirements, and some regions are even rising instead of falling. The situation of energy conservation is very serious because of the lax review of energy conservation in relevant areas, the fatigue of high energy consumption, high emission and low level project management.
The interview stressed that the relevant regional development and reform commissions should fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, keep a close eye on the "14th Five-Year Plan" energy-saving target task, strengthen the rigid constraints of energy consumption intensity reduction target, and accelerate the reversal of the passive situation of energy-saving work. Energy consumption, input-output and cost-effectiveness
should be comprehensively arranged in different cities, industries and enterprises, and the crux of the problems restricting energy-saving work should be identified. We should strengthen energy conservation review and supervision, and resolutely curb the blind launching of "two high and one low" projects. Great efforts
should be made to promote energy-saving technologies, benchmark energy efficiency and benchmark levels, and intensify the upgrading of low-level projects.
We should vigorously promote energy conservation in the whole society and truly form a green and low-carbon mode of production and lifestyle. We should improve the level of refinement of energy-saving management, strengthen the guarantee of high-quality development of energy use, and resolutely put an end to "power cuts" in the name of energy-saving and "double carbon".
Cement is an important basic raw material for national economic construction, and plays an irreplaceable role in the process of national industrialization, urbanization and modernization. However, cement production is also an industry with high energy consumption and high carbon dioxide emissions. During 2021, due to the problem of "energy consumption", some regions require the cement industry to stop and limit production, which has a greater impact on enterprises.
As one of the key industries of "double control of energy consumption", cement enterprises may be identified as inefficient production capacity and face the risk of elimination if they fail to reach the industry benchmark level.
At present, the downward trend of cement demand is prominent, energy prices remain high, costs remain high for a long time, and profit compression has become the norm. Under the background of increasingly fierce market competition, the long-term competition of cement industry is the competition of energy consumption level. Deeply tapping energy-saving potential, expanding the application of photovoltaic and energy storage technologies, and promoting the transformation of green power and alternative fuels instead of traditional energy have become the key breakthroughs for cement enterprises to enhance their comprehensive strength and market competitiveness.
With the acceleration of the process of cement industry's incorporation into the national carbon emission market, leading enterprises such as Conch, Tianshan and Jidong have been preparing for many years, increasing corresponding rigid investment, accelerating transformation and upgrading, and stepping into the stage of green, low-carbon and high-quality development.
Tianshan Holding Co., Ltd. has implemented the" double-carbon "strategy in recent years to promote green and low-carbon raw materials. Actively carry out co-disposal of cement kilns to effectively promote the harmlessness, reduction and recycling of waste.
Faced with the increasingly stringent requirements for energy conservation and emission reduction, Tianshan Stock Company, based on the "double carbon" and "14th Five-Year Plan" development work plan, vigorously promotes the substitution of raw materials and fuels, orderly carries out carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage projects, and actively promotes photovoltaic projects around the three major directions of energy transformation, product innovation and carbon sequestration technology. Actively promote the pilot construction of "zero power purchase" factories and "zero carbon" mines, lead the low-carbon transformation of the industry, and actively assume the responsibility of the central enterprises to promote the green transformation of the cement industry. In the first half of 2023,
Luoyang Zhonglian used biomass fuels to replace fossil fuels
, and Tianshan shares reduced carbon dioxide emissions by about 764,000 tons of raw materials and 114,000 tons of fuel; Carbon dioxide emission reduction of low-carbon clinker is about 0.48 million tons; Photovoltaic self-generated power was 11.93 million kwh, equivalent to 1,339.7 tons of coal saved, and green power carbon dioxide emission reduction was approximately 1.
Jidong Cement focused on promoting energy-saving and consumption-reducing technological transformation with key equipment upgrading as the core, and the comprehensive and step-by-step energy consumption continued to decline. The use of alternative fuels such as biomass fuels and solid wastes with calorific value has been promoted in an orderly manner, and the fuel substitution rate has been continuously improved.
By increasing the substitution ratio of carbonate raw materials, the emission of carbon dioxide in the process has been significantly reduced. We have successfully developed low-carbon and high-activity belite cement clinker, promoted the development and application of new technologies such as high-quality utilization of alternative fuels and oxygen-enriched combustion, and actively laid out wind power and photovoltaic new energy projects.
