On May 30, the 2023 annual shareholders' meeting of Conch Cement was held in Wuhu, Anhui.
Conch Cement said at the meeting, "As a benchmarking enterprise, Conch Cement has been carrying out comprehensive energy efficiency transformation.". At present, about 30% of the company's production lines meet the first-level energy consumption standards, and the transformation of the second-level and third-level energy efficiency production lines is being implemented, and the proportion is planned to reach 50% in 2025.
In addition, just the day before, the State Council issued the Action Plan for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction from 2024 to 2025, which clearly pointed out that 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%, and the production capacity below the benchmark level of energy efficiency in building materials industry will complete technological transformation or be eliminated.
According to the provisions of Benchmarking and Benchmarking Levels of Energy Efficiency in Key Industrial Areas (2023 Edition), the benchmark level of comprehensive energy consumption per unit product of cement clinker is 100 kg standard coal/ton and the benchmark level is 117 kg standard coal/ton.
Data show that there are still many cement clinker production lines in China that have not reached the energy efficiency benchmark level and are facing the risk of elimination. In addition, with the advancement of the green development of the domestic economy, the energy efficiency requirements of the cement industry will be more stringent in the future. At a time when the
industry is facing severe challenges, it is of immeasurable strategic significance and practical utility to actively promote the upgrading of large-scale production equipment and actively promote the energy-saving technological innovation and environmental protection upgrading and transformation of the cement industry, so as to enhance the core competitiveness of cement enterprises and realize the grand blueprint of sustainable development of the industry.
To this end, China Cement Network will hold the 11th China Cement Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Technology Exchange Conference-Equipment Renewal Forum in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province on June 13-14. This forum will gather government leaders, industry technical specialist, scientific research institutions, universities, cement enterprises and equipment suppliers to discuss and analyze the practical path of equipment renewal and green upgrading in the cement industry, so as to promote the industry to move towards a more energy-efficient, greener and environmentally friendly future.
