Recently, the Shandong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology issued a public announcement on soliciting opinions on the Notice on the Steady and Orderly Development of the Cement Industry (Draft for Opinions). In order to implement the spirit of documents such as "Action Plan for Continuous Improvement of Air Quality" (Guofa [2023] 24), "Work Program for Steady Growth of Building Materials Industry" (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Lianyuan [2023] 129), and "Implementation Plan for High-quality Development of Green Building Materials Industry" (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Lianyuan [2023] 261), according to provincial Party committees and provincial governments. To further implement the work arrangements related to the steady growth of the building materials industry, promote the stable operation of the cement industry as soon as possible, improve the overall efficiency level of the industry, and promote the orderly, stable and healthy development of the industry, the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology has drafted the Notice on Doing Well the Work Related to the Steady and Orderly Development of the Cement Industry (Draft for Comments), which is now open to the public for comments. In order to further implement the relevant work arrangements for the steady growth of the building materials industry, promote the steady operation of the cement industry as soon as possible, improve the overall efficiency level of the industry, and promote the orderly, stable and healthy development of the industry, the Circular

on the Steady and Orderly Development of the Cement Industry (Draft for Opinions)

was issued. The relevant work is hereby notified as follows:

First, speed up the withdrawal of inefficient and backward production capacity. Complete the task of shutdown and exit. By the end of 2024, the cement of 2500 tons/day or less to be withdrawn in the whole province will be completed

2. Strict normalization of peak staggering production. Strengthen unified coordination, give full play to the role of industry associations, strengthen the organization, implementation and daily supervision of peak-staggering production, increase the disclosure of peak-staggering production information, regularly publish the implementation of peak-staggering, and ensure consistency. Strengthen the implementation constraints, give appropriate constraints to the enterprises that violate the regulations of peak staggering production, and for the enterprises that fail to implement the peak staggering production for the first time, the municipal departments of industry, information technology and ecological environment shall jointly and publicly interview the enterprises and put forward the rectification requirements. Enterprises that have not been corrected or failed to correct after many interviews at the municipal level shall be jointly interviewed by the provincial departments of industry, information technology and ecological environment. Strengthen the implementation, for enterprises that do not correct or fail to correct after interview, the supporting grinding capacity indicators shall not be transferred in the same year, and the next year shall depend on the rectification situation. The interviewed enterprises shall specify in the list of cement clinker production lines updated and announced in the next year that their production lines shall be restricted to be traded as capacity replacement indicators. Each city should take the implementation of peak staggering production as an important consideration index for evaluation and financial support. Through the online monitoring platform for pollutant discharge, the ecological environment departments of each city shall keep abreast of the implementation of peak-staggering production of enterprises, investigate and punish the illegal acts of excessive discharge, falsification of monitoring data and discharge of pollutants in violation of the provisions of pollutant discharge permits according to law, and incorporate the implementation of peak-staggering production of cement enterprises into the performance evaluation system of key industries in heavily polluted weather. The industrial and information technology departments of each city will no longer arrange for the declaration of guarantee and reward projects before the completion of the rectification of the enterprises interviewed.

3. Promoting the transformation and development of the industry. Strengthen industry integration, improve the coordination mechanism of government, associations and key enterprises, encourage leading cement enterprises to carry out cross-regional and cross-ownership mergers and reorganizations, enhance industry concentration, strengthen industry self-discipline, and resist vicious competition. Promote transformation and upgrading, promote the green transformation of production methods and products in the cement industry, develop low-carbon cement products and new materials such as new carbon-fixing cementitious materials, and encourage leading enterprises in the industry to develop producer services. Encourage capacity optimization, support cement enterprises to carry out capacity optimization docking work, encourage enterprises with large capacity scale, high level of energy efficiency and environmental protection performance to sign long-term clinker supply agreements with other enterprises on the basis of strict implementation of peak staggering production, reduce the opening time of some cement kilns, reduce the release of excessive capacity, and gradually achieve the goal of optimizing capacity.

Fourth, improve the management level of the industry. To strengthen industry management and improve the quality responsibility system, relevant departments should work together to strictly supervise the quality of cement in accordance with the mandatory requirements of national technical specifications. Strengthen the supervision of product quality and safety in production and sales, strictly examine the production license of industrial products, and investigate and punish quality violations according to law. Strengthen the supervision and management of the use link, and urge the construction, supervision and construction units to implement the daily inspection system of the construction site. Promote the orderly development of bulk cement circulation and improve the level of clean transportation of bulk cement and ready-mixed products. Environmental supervision should be strengthened, environmental pollution supervision should be strengthened, and dust and mobile source pollution control of foreign cement in port loading and unloading, storage and transportation, cement preparation and other links should be strengthened. We should strengthen industry self-discipline, give full play to the role of industry associations as bridges and links, increase communication and coordination among enterprises, and enhance overall competitiveness. Organize and carry out docking activities between upstream and downstream enterprises, open up marketing channels, and improve operational efficiency and profitability.

All localities should further enhance their ideological understanding, strengthen work coordination, clarify the division of responsibilities, refine specific measures, ensure the implementation of peak staggering production, strengthen the price monitoring of cement products, timely detect, judge and respond to operational problems, prevent operational risks, stabilize market prices, and effectively promote the smooth operation and healthy development of the cement industry.
