this year, the State Council issued the 2024-2025 Action Plan for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction, which clearly stated that by the end of 2025, the building materials industry needs to achieve energy saving of 10 million tons of standard coal and carbon dioxide emission reduction of 26 million tons. At the same time, the production capacity with low energy efficiency must be technically transformed or withdrawn from the market, and half of the cement clinker production capacity in key areas should be transformed into ultra-low emission. The introduction of this policy indicates that energy saving and carbon reduction has become one of the key tasks urgently needed to be completed in the cement industry.
Energy saving and carbon reduction are very important for the long-term development of cement industry. As a traditional industry with high energy consumption and high emissions, the energy consumption and carbon emissions in the cement production process not only cause tremendous pressure on the environment, but also increase the operating costs of enterprises. With the increasing awareness of global environmental protection and the increasingly stringent policies and regulations, cement enterprises must actively respond to this challenge. Through technological innovation and management optimization, enterprises can significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, and achieve green transformation.
In addition, enterprises that actively respond to the national policy of energy saving and carbon reduction and advance the layout of low-carbon technologies will occupy a dominant position in the future market competition and win more market opportunities and development space. It can be said that energy saving and carbon reduction is not only the embodiment of fulfilling social responsibility, but also the only way for the cement industry to achieve sustainable development.
Fortunately, some cement enterprises have been in the forefront of energy saving and carbon reduction, actively practicing the concept of green development, setting an example for the industry. These pioneer enterprises not only actively respond to national policies, but also take the initiative to increase investment in technology research and development, and explore new ways of low-carbon production.
For example, some enterprises have taken the lead in adopting advanced production processes and equipment to achieve significant improvement in energy efficiency; promoting the application of alternative fuels to reduce dependence on traditional fossil energy; and implementing carbon capture and storage (CCUS) technology to effectively reduce carbon emissions. The successful practice of these enterprises in energy saving and carbon reduction not only brings economic benefits and brand value promotion for themselves, but also provides valuable experience and reference for the whole industry. As more enterprises join the ranks of "carbon reduction", the green transformation of the cement industry will accelerate and usher in a brighter future.
In order to show the latest development achievements of the cement industry, set up a benchmark model, gather the wisdom of the whole industry, continuously stimulate innovation vitality, and promote the high-quality development of the industry, China Cement Network will launch the "2024 Cement Industry Enterprise Influence Selection" campaign. The top 100 award ceremony will be held at the 14th China Cement Industry Summit , in which the award of "2024 Low Carbon Factory in Cement Industry" will be set up . Sign up for the election as soon as possible!
