national carbon market, only the power industry has been included in the scope of carbon emissions trading, including petrochemical, chemical, building materials, steel, non-ferrous metals, papermaking, aviation and other seven high-emission industries, which need to be included urgently, and the expansion has been gradually promoted in accordance with the principle of "mature industry, into one industry". When the other seven industries will be included in the national carbon market is one of the focuses of attention.
China's cement industry has a serious problem of overcapacity, and cement is likely to be the first area for the building materials industry to be incorporated into the national carbon market, which is a key step for the cement industry to achieve sound development.
Firstly, the incorporation of cement industry into the national carbon market will increase the cost of carbon emissions of cement enterprises. Carbon dioxide is an inevitable by-product in the cement production process. Due to the need to purchase carbon quotas through the carbon market, enterprises have to bear additional carbon emission costs, which will force enterprises to increase investment in technological innovation and production process improvement to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. Cement enterprises will more actively implement energy-saving and emission reduction measures to improve the efficiency of resource utilization, so as to promote the green transformation of the industry.
Secondly, the incorporation of cement industry into the national carbon market is conducive to eliminating backward production capacity. The cement industry has a serious problem of overcapacity, and the increase in the cost of carbon emissions will make it easier for enterprises with backward and high energy consumption to be cleared or merged. Through market competition, the problem of overcapacity is expected to be alleviated, and the industry resources will be further optimized.
Thirdly, the incorporation of the cement industry into the national carbon market will promote the technological innovation of the cement industry and the development of green building materials. Facing the increase of carbon emission cost, cement enterprises will more actively seek the innovation of low-carbon and green building materials technology. By introducing new technologies and improving processes to produce more environmentally friendly and low-carbon cement products, enterprises can not only meet the market demand for green building materials, but also improve their competitiveness. This will further promote the cement industry to move towards green development and achieve sustainable development goals.
It should be pointed out that the inclusion of the national carbon market is only a measure to improve the problem of overcapacity in the cement industry, and other means such as supply-side structural reform, market-oriented capacity reduction and strengthening "going out" are also needed to work together to promote the adjustment, transformation and upgrading of the cement industry.
