Hubei, located in the core area of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, has a far-reaching impact on the cement industry in the whole Yangtze River Basin.
Recently, Jiang Xun, General Manager of China Cement Network, and his delegation visited Huaxin Cement during their visit to Hubei and exchanged views with Guo Shiqing, Marketing Director of Huaxin Cement. Since the beginning of
this year, the cement industry in Hubei has been in a poor situation, with sales and prices declining year on year, and the situation is expected to be more severe throughout the year.
In Guo Shiqing's view, the cement industry should improve a fair and just competitive environment, and then carry out benign market competition on the premise of legal compliance.
When the supply and demand of the industry are relatively balanced, small overproduction is a common phenomenon in the industry, but in the case of a sharp decline in demand, cement enterprises should strictly follow the approved production capacity to achieve rational control of supply, so as to alleviate overcapacity.
At the same time, as far as peak-shifting production is concerned, the industry needs to implement a unified peak-shifting production policy across regions, coordinate the environmental protection environment of large regions and alleviate overcapacity. For example, for the Yangtze River Basin, the peak-shifting production policy can be unified to improve the environment of the Yangtze River Basin and alleviate overcapacity in the common market.
Guo Shiqing believes that the price of cement is the foundation and should be within a reasonable range, that is, to make advanced production capacity have reasonable profits, and to withdraw backward production capacity through market behavior, but now there is low-price dumping behavior in the industry, which is actually in a state of non-benign and ineffective competition.
Finally, Guo Shiqing appealed that at the critical moment when the industry is facing severe challenges, large enterprises should be more courageous and effective in guiding the positive development of the industry in terms of creating a fair competitive environment, maintaining reasonable prices, and promoting environmental protection upgrading and transformation.
In terms of environmental protection upgrading and green development, Huaxin Cement has been in the forefront. In recent years
, Huaxin Cement has made long-term efforts in alternative fuel technology, cement kiln waste heat ladder utilization technology, alternative raw material technology and intelligent manufacturing technology, vigorously developed cement kiln co-disposal technology, laid out frontier carbon emission reduction technology, and continuously promoted the process of green and low-carbon development. It is estimated that by 2030, the carbon dioxide emissions per unit product output value of Huaxin Cement will be reduced by more than 70% compared with 2005, and the proportion of alternative fuel energy in primary energy consumption will reach more than 25%.
In the future, Huaxin Cement will continue to take green development as the core, continue to increase investment in pollution reduction, carbon reduction, energy saving and consumption reduction, promote the national "double carbon" work with practical actions, and provide Huaxin samples for traditional industrial enterprises to practice the road of green sustainable development.
