On June 19, the Department of Ecology and Environment of Shandong Province publicly solicited the "Consolidation and Upgrading Plan for Ultra-low Emission Transformation of Cement Industry in Shandong Province (Draft for Opinions)". The
plan proposes to promote the implementation of ultra-low emission transformation of cement clinker production enterprises (including mines) and independent grinding stations (including cement enterprises producing special cement and co-processing solid waste).
By the end of 2025, the existing cement enterprises will complete the organized and unorganized ultra-low emission transformation, and strive to complete the clean transportation transformation of 50% of the cement clinker production capacity;
by the end of 2026, the existing cement enterprises will complete the ultra-low emission transformation of the whole process. When the newly-built (including relocation) and expanded cement enterprises
in the whole province are put into operation, they should fully realize ultra-low emission and reach the A-level of environmental protection performance. Cement enterprises or facilities
listed in the phase-out plan no longer require the implementation of ultra-low emission transformation.
