The project is currently the largest cement industry in China, the first set in Shandong Province, and the first cement plate carbon capture and utilization project in China's building materials industry. It has been listed in the first batch of major scientific and technological projects in the national building materials industry and the list of "industrial" projects of the National Development and Reform Commission to tackle key low-carbon technologies. After the project is put into operation, it will have good economic and social benefits.

Tian Yongquan congratulated on the start of the project. He pointed out that the construction of Qingzhou Zhonglian's annual output of 200,000 tons of carbon dioxide capture project is of great significance to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of enterprises and enhance their core competitiveness. It will also provide strong support for Qingzhou to achieve the goal of "double carbon" and promote the development of green low-carbon circular economy in the whole city, with good economic and social benefits.
