Recently, the Zhejiang Provincial People's Government issued an action plan for the continuous improvement of air quality in Zhejiang Province. It is mentioned that the transformation of ultra-low emissions in key industries should be accelerated, and by the end of June 2025, the cement industry will complete the transformation of organized and unorganized ultra-low emissions in an all-round way.
From 2017, Zhejiang Province formulated and issued the Action Plan for the Comprehensive Transformation and Upgrading of Traditional Manufacturing Industry (2017-2020), to the follow-up Zhejiang Economic and Credit Commission organized and formulated the Five-Year Plan for the Transformation, Optimization and Upgrading of Cement Industry in Zhejiang Province, and then to the Action Plan for the Continuous Improvement of Air Quality in Zhejiang Province. It can be said that Zhejiang cement industry has always stood at the forefront of the national environmental protection action, demonstrating its determination and courage on the road of green development. Over the years
, Zhejiang cement industry has set the goal of upgrading the international leading level around "high-end, green and intelligent", vigorously promoting "eliminating backwardness, optimizing layout, upgrading technology and eliminating a large number of backward production capacity". A number of green intelligent factories such as Huaikan South and Shanya South and a number of state-level green mines such as Jiande Conch and Changxing Dameishan have been built, and the technical and economic indicators of Zhejiang cement production are leading the country.
Faced with the problem of "by the end of June 2025, the cement industry will complete the transformation of organized and unorganized ultra-low emissions in an all-round way", how should Zhejiang cement industry, as a top student in the industry, deal with it?
First, technological innovation and upgrading: increase investment in scientific and technological research and development, introduce advanced environmental protection technology and equipment at home and abroad, and carry out comprehensive technological transformation of existing production lines. Focus on soot treatment, sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide emission reduction technologies to ensure that all emission indicators meet ultra-low emission standards. At the same time, we should promote digital and intelligent transformation, optimize production processes by using modern information technologies such as big data and cloud computing, improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
Second, adjustment of production capacity structure: actively respond to the call of the government, accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity, especially complete the integration and withdrawal of clinker production lines of 2500 tons per day or less on time, and improve the overall production efficiency and environmental protection level of the industry through capacity replacement and optimization of layout. At the same time, we should encourage and support large enterprise groups to form scale effect, enhance industry concentration and promote industrial upgrading through mergers and acquisitions.
The third is the construction of green supply chain: build a green supply chain management system, strictly follow environmental protection standards in every link from raw material procurement, production and processing to product sales, promote the use of low-carbon environmental protection materials, and reduce the environmental impact of the whole process. Explore green packaging, low-carbon transportation and other solutions with suppliers and customers to promote green synergy between upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.
In a word, Zhejiang cement industry needs to take the opportunity of ultra-low emission transformation, not only to achieve leaps and bounds in technology and management, but also to form a green, circular and low-carbon development model from a strategic perspective, so as to set a new benchmark for the green transformation of the national and even global cement industry.
According to the requirements of the State's Opinions on Promoting the Implementation of Ultra-low Emission in Cement Industry, the Special Action Plan for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction in Cement Industry and the relevant documents of Zhejiang Province, in order to complete the task of upgrading the production capacity above the benchmark level of ultra-low emission and energy efficiency in Zhejiang Province on schedule, and to promote the high-quality development of the industry, Zhejiang Province has adopted the following measures: It is now scheduled to organize the " Zhejiang Cement Industry Ultra-low Emission Transformation and Assessment Monitoring Training Conference and Cement Industry High-quality Development Exchange Conference " in Hangzhou on July 23-24. This exchange will gather government leaders, industry associations, cement enterprises and technical equipment service providers to discuss and analyze the practice path of ultra-low emission in the cement industry, and promote the industry to move towards a more energy-efficient, greener and environmentally friendly future.
