Shao Jun: While reducing costs and increasing efficiency, cement practitioners should also look for new development directions.

On July 6, the "2023 China Cement Energy Conservation and New Energy Development Conference" sponsored by China Cement Network was held in Chongqing, a mountain city. Shao Jun, founder and chairman of

China Cement Network, delivered a speech. He said that in order to achieve the goal of sustainable development, the cement industry is facing many difficulties, such as energy consumption, environmental pollution, resource shortage and so on, which also urges the industry to accelerate the reform of energy saving and cost reduction, green energy assistance, quality improvement and efficiency improvement.

Shao Jun pointed out that while reducing costs and increasing efficiency, cement practitioners should also look for new development directions. Semiconductor and new energy are well-known future directions, and these two tracks have huge growth space in the future. In fact, the cement industry is not only a simple traditional building materials manufacturing industry, but also a future ecological industry with environmental protection, energy transfer and other functions.

The following is the full text of the speech:

Distinguished Guests, President Bo, President Lv, Executive Director Zhang, Researcher Cui, Dr. Pan, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Good Morning!

Welcome to the mountain city of Chongqing, the furnace on the Yangtze River in the hot season, to attend the "2023 China Cement Energy Conservation and New Energy Development Conference" hosted by China Cement Network. Here, on behalf of China Cement Network, I would like to express my warm greetings and sincere thanks to all the guests! The weather in

July is hot, but our cement industry has fallen into the cold winter, the demand is down, the supply and demand are unbalanced, the price of cement has been "falling endlessly", more and more cement enterprises realize that they should deeply tap the potential of energy saving, expand the application of photovoltaic, energy storage and other technologies. Promoting RDF, green power, fuel substitution and traditional energy transformation has become the key breakthrough point for cement enterprises to enhance their comprehensive strength and market competitiveness.

Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments issued the Benchmarking Level and Benchmark Level of Energy Efficiency in Key Industrial Areas (2023 Edition), emphasizing once again that enterprises should be guided to carry out energy-saving and carbon-reduci ng technological transformation or elimination in an orderly manner, and to eliminate projects whose energy efficiency is lower than the benchmark level and which cannot be completed on schedule. Under the requirements of realizing the "double carbon target" and the green development of industry, the cement industry is facing many problems such as energy consumption, environmental pollution and resource shortage, which also urges the industry to accelerate the reform of energy saving and cost reduction, green energy assistance, quality improvement and efficiency enhancement, so as to achieve the goal of sustainable development. While

reducing costs and increasing efficiency, cement practitioners should also look for new development directions. Semiconductor and new energy are well-known future directions, and these two tracks have huge growth space in the future. Some leading cement enterprises have taken the lead in the layout of photovoltaic power generation, energy storage, crystalline silicon production and other fields. For example, in addition to crystalline silicon, photovoltaic power generation also has power generation technologies with different efficiencies and functions, such as cadmium, copper, gallium rare earth, perovskite, etc; In addition to SRF and co-disposal of hazardous wastes, the co-disposal of cement kilns can also use the unique thermal process of cement kilns to disassemble lithium batteries. In fact, the cement industry is not only a simple traditional building materials manufacturing industry, but also a future ecological industry with environmental protection, energy transfer and other functions.

China Cement Network has been deeply engaged in the cement building materials industry for more than 20 years, always taking "enhancing the image of the industry, promoting technological progress and leading the industrial Internet" as its own responsibility, and promoting the overall progress of the industry by constantly exploring innovative technologies, concepts and modes inside and outside the industry. In recent years, relying on the complete big data system of building materials industry, we have actively set foot in the field of new photovoltaic energy, established the "digital photovoltaic new energy DATABM. Com" "as the main energy big data plate, and further promoted the green and low-carbon development of the industry. The purpose of this

conference is to provide a platform for the cement industry to exchange, cooperate and develop together. It is hoped that through this conference, the technical experience of cement industry in new energy application, energy saving and emission reduction will be discussed in depth, so as to jointly promote the innovation and development of cement industry and contribute to the realization of green, low-carbon and sustainable cement production.

Today, we are very pleased to invite researcher Cui Cheng, Dr. Pan Jingong, CEO Zhang Zhenkun, President Bo Kegang and other top experts, scholars and entrepreneurs in various fields to gather together to discuss energy-saving and green development plans for the cement industry. It is believed that with the joint efforts of all, the cement industry will be able to create brilliance in the new era.

Finally, I wish this conference a complete success and fruitful results for all guests!

Thank you all!
