On June 21, the Action Plan for Continuous Improvement of Air Quality in Zhejiang Province was issued, which calls for accelerating the integration of cement clinker production capacity in key areas of cement production. By 2025, no less than 8 clinker production lines of 2500 tons per day and below will be integrated and withdrawn.
According to the information of Zhejiang Provincial Office of Industry and Information Technology, by the end of 2023, there were 21 cement clinker production lines with a capacity of 2500t/d or less (excluding special cement lines).
This means that in the next year and a half, Zhejiang Province will actively promote the integration process, ensure the smooth integration or withdrawal of at least eight production lines, and implement the air quality improvement goals with practical actions. List
of clinker production lines of 2500t/d and below
in Zhejiang Province Since the implementation of the "14th Five-Year Plan", local governments have actively responded to the call of the state and devoted themselves to promoting the deep-seated reform and high-quality development of the cement industry. In order to accelerate technological innovation and promote the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure, a series of local policies aimed at encouraging technological progress and accelerating the reorganization of enterprises have emerged, among which many places have made it clear that production lines of 2500t/d and below will be phased out.
Chongqing
Municipal Economic and Credit Commission issued the "Chongqing Material Industry Carbon Peak Implementation Plan" to encourage superior enterprises to integrate the city's inefficient production capacity through market-oriented mergers and reorganizations, and gradually withdraw from the cement clinker production line of 2500 tons per day or less (except special cement). According to the Notice of the 14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Metallurgical Building Materials Industry in
Jilin
Province, through the replacement of production capacity in the province, the clinker production line with a scale of more than 4000 t/d (including) will be built to improve the scale and energy efficiency of the single line. Gradually withdraw from the clinker production line below 2500t/d (excluding).
Fujian Province
Fujian Province "Opinions on the Comprehensive Implementation of Ultra-low Emission Transformation of Cement Industry" put forward that 2500t/d new dry process kilns should be encouraged to be transformed to 5000t/d and above, so as to reach the ultra-low emission level at the same time. The 14th Five-Year Plan for
Jiangxi Province to Address Climate Change proposes to speed up the elimination of ordinary cement clinker production lines of 2000t/d and below, and to speed up the elimination of ordinary cement clinker production lines of 2500t/d and below in areas with low capacity utilization.
Shandong Province
's "Three Resolute" Action Plan (2021-2022) requires that by 2022, all cement clinker production lines below 2500t/d will be integrated and withdrawn, and half of the 2500t/d cement clinker production lines will be integrated and withdrawn. The remaining 2500t/d cement clinker production lines must determine the capacity replacement plan, and all of them will be integrated and withdrawn by the end of 2024. In
accordance with the requirements of the Guiding Catalogue for the Adjustment of Energy Consumption and Dual-Control Industrial Structure in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (Trial Implementation) issued jointly by the Development and Reform Commission of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and the Office of Industry and Information Technology. The autonomous region will eliminate cement clinker production lines with a capacity of less than 2500t/d, JT kilns and cement mills with a diameter of less than 3.2 meters (including ore mills) (2023, chemical supporting cement clinker production lines 2024); Eliminate 2500t/d cement clinker production line (excluding chemical supporting cement clinker production line) (2025).
In addition, according to statistics , since the beginning of this year, various regions have released the list of cement clinker production lines, and many production lines have been dismantled or planned to be dismantled, totaling more than 70, which are used for new projects of capacity replacement, while the capacity of production lines dismantled and withdrawn is mostly 2500t/d or less.
