on March 25, the pilot project of Xinjiang Jinghe Kunlun Cement Co., Ltd. to replace fossil fuels with cotton straw to produce cement clinker was officially launched! With the order of Dang Jianting, Deputy Secretary-General of Bortala Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, firecrackers and machines roared at the scene. Xinjiang Jinghe Kunlun Cement Co., Ltd. (Hereinafter referred to as Jinghe Kunlun Cement Co., Ltd.) officially launched the first pilot project of replacing fossil fuels with pure cotton straw to produce cement clinker in China.
The project, led by Xinjiang Building Materials Industry Association and supported by Bortala Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture and Jinghe County Government, marks a major breakthrough in the field of biomass fuel substitution in Xinjiang cement industry and provides innovative practice for the implementation of the "double carbon" goal. As the largest cotton-producing area in China,
Xinjiang accounts for more than 90% of the country's cotton production, and the distribution of cotton fields is highly coincident with cement enterprises, which has the natural advantage of developing biomass fuel. In order to implement the general goal of "3060" green and low carbon put forward by the Central Committee, the Association has taken the lead in exploring the application of biomass such as cotton straw as an alternative fuel in the cement industry since 2021, and in 2022, it will work with the counselors of the people's government of the autonomous region and forestry, science and technology, agriculture, environmental protection, finance, building materials and other industries. He went to four prefectures in northern and southern Xinjiang and four divisions, cities and regimental farms of the Corps to conduct extensive and in-depth special investigations. Considering that Xinjiang's cotton planting area accounts for more than 90% of the country's total, and that cotton planting areas overlap with cement enterprises, the research team wrote the "Suggestions on the Application of Biomass such as Cotton Straw to Replace Some Fossil Fuels in Cement Industry" and submitted it to the People's Government of the Autonomous Region. Chen Weijun, Executive Vice Chairman of the People's Government of the Autonomous Region, made important instructions on the report, which was sent to relevant departments such as the Department of Industry and Information Technology, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Forestry and the Department of Science and Technology of the Autonomous Region, and requested that it be actively promoted and implemented. Under the strong guidance and support of the Department of Military Industry and Information Technology and the Department of Ecology of the Autonomous Region, the Association has worked out detailed plans for cotton straw collection, storage and transportation guidelines and test procedures, and has taken Jingkun Cement Company in Bozhou, Northern Xinjiang, as a pilot enterprise for replacing fossil fuels with pure cotton straw.
The successful application of pure cotton straw instead of fossil fuel in cement production line is the first time in Xinjiang and even in the whole country. The technical team dispatched by the association tracked the whole experimental process on the spot and strived to collect and sort out a complete set of technical operation parameters as soon as possible, laying a foundation for future promotion in Xinjiang and even the whole country. Qiu Jingbo, Standing Committee and Executive Vice Mayor
of Bole Municipal Committee, said that the project was the first pilot project in China to replace fossil energy with cotton straw, reflecting China's determination to actively respond to global climate change and implement the "double carbon" goal, as well as the vivid practice of Bole City to build a "waste-free city". After the project is put into operation, it will effectively promote the high-end and green transformation of the industrial structure, effectively utilize the local crop straw, promote the development of renewable energy, and cultivate new economic growth points; at the same time, it will expand diversified ways for farmers to increase their income, help farmers to increase their income and become rich, and depict the bright prospects of rural revitalization. Lu Zhijian, special vice president of
China Building Materials Federation, pointed out that cotton straw is of great significance as a substitute for fossil fuels in Xinjiang. The launch of Jinghe Kunlun Cement Company's pilot project to use cotton straw instead of fossil fuels to produce cement clinker is a milestone. The annual output of cotton stalks in Bozhou is about 1 million tons, which can replace 500,000 tons of standard coal, so as to meet the fuel demand of local cement enterprises, reduce carbon emissions and achieve win-win economic and environmental benefits. Lu Lianfeng, general manager of Jinghe Kunlun
Cement Company, said that the company would strictly implement five commitments, including energy consumption monitoring, pollutant emission monitoring, product quality control, equipment operation and maintenance, data recording and analysis technology, to ensure the smooth progress of the pilot project.
The launching ceremony was presided over by Li Jingmei, Secretary-General of Xinjiang Building Materials Industry Association. Lu Zhijian, Special Vice President of China Building Materials Federation and former President of Xinjiang Building Materials Industry Association, Dang Jianting, Deputy Secretary-General of the People's Government of Bortala Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Meng Lei, Deputy Secretary and Director of the Party Group of the Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, Bian Xin, Member and Deputy Director of the Party Group of the Bureau of Science and Technology, Liu Xin, Member and Deputy Director of the Party Group of the Bureau of Ecology and Environment, and Hu Yang, Member and Deputy Director of the Party Group of the Transportation Bureau. The launching ceremony was attended by Li Shuanglin, a researcher of the Agricultural and Rural Bureau, Qiu Jingbo, a member of the Standing Committee of the Bole Municipal Committee and executive vice mayor, Xu Lei, deputy director of the Bianhe District Management Committee, and more than 150 representatives of cement production enterprises in northern Xinjiang and employees of Jinghe Kunlun Cement Company.
