On May 29, the State Council issued the Action Plan for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction from 2024 to 2025.
It is mentioned that the regulation of production capacity and output of building materials industry should be strengthened. Strictly implement the replacement of cement and flat glass production capacity.
Strengthen the output monitoring and early warning of building materials industry, and promote the normalization of cement peak staggering production. Comprehensive utilization of tailings, waste rock, waste residue and industrial by-product gypsum is
encouraged.
By the end of 2025, the national cement clinker production capacity will be controlled at about 1.8 billion tons.
New and expanded cement, ceramics and flat glass projects must reach the benchmark level of energy efficiency and A-level of environmental performance.
We will vigorously develop green building materials and promote the production of basic raw materials, the lightening of wall insulation materials and the assembly of decoration and decoration materials.
By the end of 2025, the proportion of production capacity above the benchmark level of energy efficiency in cement and ceramics industries will reach 30%, that of production capacity above the benchmark level of energy efficiency in flat glass industry will reach 20%, and that of production capacity below the benchmark level of energy efficiency in building materials industry will be completed or eliminated.
