It has vigorously promoted "eliminating backwardness, optimizing layout, upgrading technology and eliminating a large number of backward production capacity" and achieved remarkable results.

On July 23, Zhejiang Cement Association and China Cement Network jointly sponsored the "Zhejiang Cement Industry Ultra-low Emission Transformation and Assessment Monitoring Training Conference and Cement Industry High-quality Development Exchange" in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Shao Jun, chairman of

China Cement Network, delivered an important speech. Shao Jun said that this year is the cold winter of the cement industry once in 30 years, with a loss of 2 billion yuan in the first half of the year and an 11% decline in sales. Energy saving and carbon reduction, green transformation, cost reduction and efficiency enhancement are the only way for cement enterprises to achieve high-quality development. This year, the "Opinions on Promoting the Implementation of Ultra-low Emissions in Cement Industry" issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the "Special Action Plan for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction in Cement Industry" issued by the Development and Reform Commission and other five departments provide a clear direction for the transformation of ultra-low emissions in cement industry, accelerating the upgrading of energy conservation and environmental protection in cement industry, and enhancing the core competitiveness of cement enterprises. It further clarifies the work grasp and implementation path to promote energy saving and carbon reduction in the cement industry.

In recent years, the cement industry in Zhejiang Province has actively promoted the transformation of ultra-low emissions, set the goal of upgrading the international leading level around "high-end, green and intelligent", vigorously promoted "eliminating backwardness, optimizing layout, upgrading technology and eliminating a large number of backward production capacity", and achieved remarkable results, which will be completed by the end of June 2025. Complete the transformation of organized and unorganized ultra-low emissions in an all-round way.

Shao Jun introduced that the conference gathered government leaders, industry associations, cement enterprises and technical equipment service providers to discuss and analyze the practice path of ultra-low emission in the cement industry, and to promote the industry to move towards a more energy-efficient, greener and environmentally friendly future. The full text of the

speech is as follows:

Distinguished leaders and guests,

welcome to Hangzhou to attend the "Zhejiang Cement Industry Ultra-low Emission Transformation and Assessment Monitoring Training Conference and Cement Industry High-quality Development Exchange Conference". Here, on behalf of the organizers, I would like to extend my sincere greetings and warm welcome to all the guests!

This year is the cold winter of the cement industry once in 30 years. In the first half of the year, the whole industry lost 2 billion yuan and sales fell by 11%. Energy saving and carbon reduction, green transformation, cost reduction and efficiency enhancement are the only way for cement enterprises to achieve high-quality development. This year, the "Opinions on Promoting the Implementation of Ultra-low Emissions in Cement Industry" issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the "Special Action Plan for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction in Cement Industry" issued by the Development and Reform Commission and other five departments provide a clear direction for the transformation of ultra-low emissions in cement industry, accelerating the upgrading of energy conservation and environmental protection in cement industry, and enhancing the core competitiveness of cement enterprises. It further clarifies the work grasp and implementation path to promote energy saving and carbon reduction in the cement industry.

In recent years, the cement industry in Zhejiang Province has actively promoted the transformation of ultra-low emissions, set the goal of upgrading the international leading level around "high-end, green and intelligent", vigorously promoted "eliminating backwardness, optimizing layout, upgrading technology and eliminating a large number of backward production capacity", and achieved remarkable results, which will be completed by the end of June 2025. Complete the transformation of organized and unorganized ultra-low emissions in an all-round way.

China Cement Network has been deeply engaged in the industry for more than 20 years, and has evolved from a new media industry to an industrial big data service platform, relying on huge data accumulation to build a building materials + photovoltaic big data platform. With the support of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Development and Reform Commission, we have continuously improved the industrial big data system with big data, market information, cement index, concrete index and photovoltaic glass index as the core, and recently launched the global cement price map to help cement enterprises break the "involution" and open up a broader overseas cement market. We will also continue to give full play to the advantages of platform services, rely on digital services such as cement big data and industry "brain", provide all-round support for the green development, digitalization and low-carbon transformation of the industry, and work hand in hand with the industry.

The meeting gathered government leaders, industry associations, cement enterprises and technical equipment service providers to discuss and analyze the practice path of ultra-low emission in the cement industry, and promote the industry to move towards a more energy-efficient, greener and environmentally friendly future.

Finally, I wish all the distinguished guests a smooth work and a happy life, and I wish this conference a complete success!

Adani is also a big man in the Indian cement industry and is the second largest cement producer in India. He entered the industry in 2022 with the acquisition of Holcim's cement business in India, which acquired about 70 million tons of cement per year for $10.5 billion. Adani plans to expand its annual cement production capacity to 140 million tons by 2028. Adani has previously invested $1.6 billion to acquire Sanchi Cement and Penna Cement, and is expected to acquire an additional 21 million tons of production capacity.
