On October 24, the "2024 China Cement Double Carbon Conference and the 12th Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Technology Exchange Conference" was held in Wuhu, Anhui Province, and Gao Dengbang, President of China Cement Association, delivered a speech.
Gao Dengbang said that in the face of increasingly severe environmental challenges, energy conservation and emission reduction have become our common responsibility. As the basic raw material industry of the construction industry, the green development of the cement industry is not only related to the long-term future of the industry, but also our commitment to environmental protection. In recent years, China's cement industry has made remarkable achievements on the road of high-quality development, achieving a qualitative leap and efficiency improvement. In this new historical period, achieving the goal of "double carbon" has become an unshirkable historical mission for our cement workers. We must continue to stand up to the tide, shoulder heavy responsibilities, unswervingly implement the concept of green and low-carbon development, and make unremitting efforts to achieve the goal of "double carbon" at an early date.
Here, Gao Dengbang calls on cement enterprises to actively participate in the cause of double carbon, dare to explore, dare to innovate, and be aggressive. While carrying out the mission of double carbon, it will transform the pressure of environmental protection into green power, and promote enterprises to achieve new breakthroughs in the transformation and development. We should closely integrate the development of enterprises with the concept of building a community of human destiny, achieve deeper mutual benefit and win-win situation, and help the cement industry achieve higher quality and sustainable development.
The following is the full text of the speech:
Distinguished leaders and guests:
In this harvest season, we gather in beautiful Wuhu to attend the "2024 China Cement Double Carbon Conference and the 12th Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Technology Exchange Conference". On behalf of China Cement Association, I would like to extend my most sincere greetings and warmest welcome to all the guests coming from afar.
In the face of increasingly severe environmental challenges, energy conservation and emission reduction has become our common responsibility. As the basic raw material industry of the construction industry, the green development of the cement industry is not only related to the long-term future of the industry, but also our commitment to environmental protection. In recent years, China's cement industry has made remarkable achievements on the road of high-quality development, achieving a qualitative leap and efficiency improvement.

We should closely integrate the development of enterprises with the concept of building a community of human destiny, achieve deeper mutual benefit and win-win situation, and help the cement industry achieve higher quality and sustainable development.
As the cement industry is about to be incorporated into the carbon trading market, the importance of green low-carbon transformation is becoming increasingly prominent. In this critical period, the conference held by China Cement Network is timely and of great significance. All along, China Cement Network, with its outstanding platform advantages, has built a bridge for communication and cooperation among colleagues in the industry, and has made indelible contributions to promoting the high-quality development of the industry. It is hoped that China Cement Network will continue to play a leading role, provide more support for the green development and technological innovation of the cement industry, and promote the industry to a higher quality and more sustainable development path.
Let us take this opportunity to focus on the core issues of low-carbon development and green upgrading in the cement industry, discuss in depth the innovative application of energy efficiency improvement and energy saving and carbon reduction technologies, and how to effectively use the carbon trading mechanism to promote the low-carbon transformation of our industry. Let us take this meeting as a new starting point, deepen exchanges, share experiences, jointly explore new paths for the sustainable development of the cement industry, and contribute our wisdom and strength to the realization of the "double carbon" goal.
Finally, I wish this conference a complete success, and I hope that all the distinguished guests can gain something and inspire something during the conference. Thank you all!
