Centralized signing of Zhongnan Cement Photovoltaic Project! The first batch involved seven enterprises.

of June 27, Zhongnan Cement, Sinoma Overseas and Huaneng New Energy held a centralized signing ceremony for Hunan Regional Photovoltaic Project in Changsha, Hunan Province. At the

signing ceremony, Liu Renyue, Vice President of Sinoma International, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Sinoma International (Nanjing), delivered speeches. Zhu Linhe, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of Sinoma Overseas, and Zhao Jianyong, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of Huaneng New Energy, delivered speeches on behalf of the signatories. In his speech, Lv Wenbin, Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman and President

of Zhongnan Cement, said that under the background of the national "double carbon" goal, energy saving and emission reduction and the development of new energy are the only way for the cement industry to achieve green transformation and practice green development. Zhongnan Cement attaches great importance to the work of "double carbon" and vigorously promotes the application of low-carbon technologies such as high-efficiency firing and alternative fuels. The signing of the photovoltaic project is another measure taken by Zhongnan Cement to implement the goal of "double carbon", which will add new momentum to the development of enterprises. At

the signing site, the representatives of Sinoma Overseas and Huaneng New Energy introduced the basic situation, construction planning and expected benefits of the project, and said that they would adhere to high standards and strict requirements, organize meticulously, construct scientifically, speed up the construction progress of the project, strive for early completion, early commissioning and early effectiveness of the project, and strive to build a "photovoltaic +" high-quality factory. Zhongnan Cement said that it would earnestly implement the deployment requirements of China Building Materials Group, China Building Materials Co., Ltd. and New Tianshan Cement, make full use of resources such as enterprise structures and mine space, lay out green energy industries such as photovoltaic, wind power and energy storage, and make every effort to promote the cleanliness of energy structure, so as to achieve the goal of building a clean energy structure. Speed up the construction of "zero power purchase" and "zero carbon" factories . The signing of this contract

marks that Zhongnan Cement has officially launched the large-scale construction of distributed photovoltaic projects.

The first batch of photovoltaic construction projects involved seven member enterprises , including Shaofeng South, Taojiang South, Jinlei South, Shaoyang South, Zhongmao Zhuzhou, Anren South and Guzhang South, with a total installed capacity of 31.5 MW . Cad mium telluride photovoltaic modules account for 30% , which is the first large-scale application of Triumph Technology Cadmium Telluride products in New Tianshan Cement, and is also a new fruit of China's building materials industry collaboration and cooperation between central enterprises. After the completion of the

project, the annual average power generation will be about 24 million degrees, the annual emission reduction of carbon dioxide will be 24000 tons, and the standard coal will be saved by 8000 tons, which will effectively reduce the cost of purchasing electricity, reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, and promote enterprises to accelerate green and low-carbon transformation. Wu Xinxian and Li yuan, Vice Presidents

of Zhongnan Cement, Jiang Junling, Assistant President and General Manager of Investment Development Department, Zhang Jian, Vice General Manager of Sinoma International (Nanjing), Li Yue, Vice General Manager of Sinoma Overseas, Zhang Jianjun, Secretary of the Party Committee of Huaneng New Energy Guangdong Branch, Wang Jianbin, general manager of Guangdong Energy Storage Technology Co., Ltd., and more than 20 representatives of the contracted enterprises attended the signing ceremony.

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. Improving energy efficiency and reducing cost pressure have become the key breakthrough points for cement enterprises to enhance their comprehensive strength and market competitiveness. On July 6-7,

2023, China Cement Network will hold the "2023 China Cement Energy Conservation and New Energy Development Conference" in Chongqing to jointly explore new ways of energy conservation and consumption reduction in the cement industry from the aspects of energy conservation transformation, photovoltaic, energy storage and other technology applications, green electricity, alternative fuels to replace traditional energy transformation.

After the meeting, we will visit the energy-saving demonstration line of "Grade 5 to Grade 6" of Dongfang Hope Chongqing Cement Preheater.
