China Resources Building Materials Technology in 2024 shows that in the first half of 2024, the unit cost of cement products (cement products refer to cement and clinker ) of China Resources Building Materials Technology was 210.2 yuan/ton, which was 18.0% lower than that of 256.2 yuan/ton in the first half of 2023. The cost of cement products of
China Resources Building Materials Technology includes coal, electricity, raw materials and others, accounting for 40.5%, 13.7%, 17.5% and 28.3% respectively (43.4%, 12.2%, 18.5% and 25.9% respectively in the same period of 2023).
It is understood that in the first half of 2024, China Resources Building Materials Science and Technology focused on the management theme of "strengthening the foundation and upgrading, promoting transformation through scientific and technological innovation", focusing on the improvement of concept, ability and style, concentrating on the operation and management of basic building materials, implementing the lowest cost strategy of the system, building the cost analysis ability of the whole value chain, and systematically reducing production costs. In terms of
coal, China Resources Building Materials Science and Technology actively responded to the national strategy of "carbon peak and carbon neutralization", promoted the operation and control of basic building materials, and continued to promote the use of alternative fuels. The standard coal consumption per ton of clinker products decreased compared with the average in 2023; There are 21 production lines reaching the benchmark level of first-class energy consumption stipulated in GB16780 Energy Consumption Quota for Cement Unit Products, 7 more than in 2023, and the proportion of production capacity has increased from 33% to 44%. In the first half of
2024, the average price of coal purchased by China Resources Building Material Technology was about 828 yuan per ton, which was 18.7% lower than the average price of 1,018 yuan per ton in the same period of 2023. The unit coal consumption per ton of clinker decreased to 129.9 kg from an average of 134.2 kg for the same period last year, and the standard coal consumption per ton of clinker decreased to 97.2 kg for the Period from an average of 99.5 kg for the same period last year. Due to the decline in coal prices, the average coal cost per ton of clinker of China Resources Building Materials Technology decreased by 21.3% to 107.5 yuan from 136.6 yuan in the same period in 2023. In terms of
electricity, the average electricity cost per ton of cement of China Resources Building Materials Technology decreased by 8.0% from 31.3 yuan in the first year of 2023 to 28.8 yuan. Power consumption per ton of cement is 68.1 kWh (71.7 kWh in the same period of 2023). In the first half of 2024, the waste heat power generation equipment of CR Building Material Technology generated 682.1 million kWh, representing a decrease of 4.1% from 711.3 million kWh in the same period last year. Power generation accounted for approximately 28.6% of the required electricity consumption (29.9% for the same period in 2023), resulting in cost savings of approximately RMB324.1 million (RMB367.3 million for the same period in 2023).
Other costs mainly include staff costs, transportation costs, depreciation and operation and maintenance costs. During the Period, operation and maintenance costs included in cost of sales of cement products were RMB209.1 million, representing a decrease of 33.7% from RMB315.3 million for the same period in 2023.
This year, the cement industry has encountered a rare winter in 30 years. Only enterprises with cost advantages can gain a firm foothold in the fierce market competition and lay a solid foundation for the sustainable development of enterprises.
