Editor's preface: In the face of the continued impact of the COVID-19 epidemic and the continued weakness of the world economy, China's economy still achieved a year-on-year growth of 3% in the past year, and the total economic output reached a new level. This achievement, which is not easy, is where our confidence lies in forging ahead. Confidence is more precious than gold. In 2023, we are still facing the triple pressures of demand contraction, supply shocks and expected weakening, and the impact of the turbulent external environment on China's economy is also deepening. However, China's economy has strong resilience, great potential and vitality, and the fundamentals for long-term improvement remain unchanged, and people's confidence is growing.
This year is the first year to fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Xinhuanet has launched the financial media column "Strong Confidence, Entering 100 Enterprises". Through in-depth interviews, research and rich financial media forms, we will witness with you the vigorous vitality of the vast number of enterprises and the firm confidence of the Chinese people in their struggle. After the
the Lantern Festival, the wharf of Wuhu Conch Cement Company, located on the bank of the Yangtze River, was busy, seven cargo ships were waiting for shipment, and the 5 million tons of green building materials project in the factory entered the sprint stage of production; In the mine of Tongling Conch Cement Company, 26 large mine cars shuttle back and forth to transport ore, and driverless mine cars are being intensively debugged.
As one of the leading enterprises in the global cement building materials industry, Conch Group, facing the two-way squeeze of falling volume and price and rising cost in the main cement manufacturing industry, has not only turned crises into opportunities and sought opportunities in crises, but also sounded a new "charge" for innovation and development through active response and active change.
Conch Group's Green Environmental Protection Intelligent Factory Model
has been actively responding to increasing operational resilience
. In 2022, the demand for cement dropped sharply due to multiple factors. According to statistics, the utilization rate of cement clinker production capacity in China has dropped to about 65%, and the market price has "dived from a high platform". At the same time, raw materials and coal have been rising all the way.
In response to this change in the market environment, Conch Group has gone against the trend and responded positively, improved the closed-loop mechanism of "target inversion management, management to promote the target", and implemented policies according to the differences of time and situation, so as to continuously enhance its operational resilience.
"As a traditional industry, the cement industry must be transformed and upgraded to speed up the pace of in-depth transformation of production management, manufacturing processes and other links." He Chengfa, deputy general manager of Conch Group, said that "high-end, intelligent and green" is the way to solve the problem. In 2022, the emission concentrations of nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and particulate matter in conch cement will be reduced by 16.1%, 10.1% and 17.3%, respectively,
through the integrated promotion of industrial carbon reduction, development and greening, the promotion of biomass fuels instead of coal, the promotion of coal gangue ingredients and the trial use of combustion promoters. There are 7 new provincial green factories and 10 green mines.
At the same time, 69 photovoltaic projects have been completed, with an additional installed capacity of 272.3 MW, BIPV and energy storage pilot projects have been completed and put into operation, the industry's first "zero power purchase" and "all-green power" cement plant has been built, the prophase work of photovoltaic glass and wind power projects has been carried out in an orderly manner, and a number of new industrial clusters are rapidly taking shape.
Located on the bank of the Yangtze River, Conch Group's super-large cement clinker production base
with an annual output of 10 million tons actively seeks change and uses innovation to enable high-quality development
. "In addition to positive response, we should take the initiative to seek change." In the view of Yang Jun, secretary and chairman of the Party Committee of Conch Group, cement enterprises need to strengthen their confidence in development and market expectations, closely follow the main line of structural reform on the supply side of the industry, focus on resolving the main contradictions between serious overcapacity and downward market demand, speed up the elimination of backward and excess capacity, comprehensively improve the energy efficiency level of the industry, and use innovation to enable high-quality development.
"According to the plan of the 4th Scientific and Technological Innovation Work Conference of the Group, this year we will continue to enhance our core competitiveness by promoting technological innovation. It is estimated that the total investment in the annual R & D plan of the Group will be 4.1 billion yuan, and the intensity of R & D investment will reach 3.73%." Yang Jun revealed.
On this basis, Conch Group has also decided to promote the digitalization transformation of traditional industries, the large-scale transfer of emerging industries and the industrialization transformation of high and new technologies, and to build a "one base and five industries" development model based on cement manufacturing and the mutual promotion of new energy, new materials, environmental protection industry, digital economy and international trade.
It will speed up the construction of intelligent factory cluster and cement industry brain, and accelerate the application and iterative upgrading of intelligent technology. High-quality Conch "Cloud Industry" industrial Internet dual-cross platform, continue to promote related industries "platform, platform", as soon as possible to achieve business interconnection and efficient industrial collaboration. It will continue to work in the direction of industrial Internet platform and data service operation, intelligent manufacturing and dual-carbon technology to promote the prosperity and development of Conch Digital Ecosphere and strive to form an output value of 4 billion yuan in the year.
Conch Group Anhui International Trade Technology Company delivered the first ship
in the new year, looking for opportunities in danger, striving to create a world-class enterprise
, not only to respect the market, follow the trend; but also to grasp the market, move with the times. Promote the business integration of upstream and downstream cement industries
by taking customers as the center; focus on the main business, build a value-oriented cost control system and an efficiency-oriented operation mode; increase the expansion of self-operated import and export business, and tap the potential of domestic trade business.. While turning crises into opportunities, Conch Group has also found new business opportunities. The proposal of
"double carbon target" redefines the low-carbon digital transformation path and the mission vision of sustainable development for us. In January this year, the Group recently compiled 23 key scientific and technological innovation topics, 16 of which covered energy saving and emission reduction technologies, carbon dioxide conversion applications and low-carbon technologies, green new energy technologies, and Conch is accelerating the construction of a green low-carbon cycle development system. Yang Jun said.
To this end, Conch Group is focusing on expanding carbon asset management related industries, speeding up the extension of the chain and strengthening the chain. We will carry out energy conservation and carbon reduction actions, and comprehensively promote all-green electricity supply and new technologies. Taking advantage of the large mining space and wide distribution of buildings in the cement industry, we will actively lay out new energy systems such as photovoltaic and wind power, reduce fossil energy consumption, and promote the construction of "zero power purchase" factories.
"We will accelerate the pace of transformation and upgrading, increase the scale of investment in new industries, strive to form the rudiments of three emerging industries with output value of 10 billion yuan, such as new energy, new materials and environmental protection industries, and strive to create world-class enterprises with global competitiveness.". We are confident and determined to make a good start in the new journey of modernization. Yang Jun said.
