As a think tank platform for deep cultivation of cement industry, China Cement Network always takes the transformation and upgrading of service industry as its responsibility, and actively helps the industry to explore energy saving, carbon reduction and intellectualization. With the deep industrial data resources accumulated over the years, China Cement Network has built a comprehensive and multi-level data monitoring and analysis system with big data, market information, cement index, concrete index and photovoltaic glass index as the core, relying on AI technology and cement big data, to provide comprehensive factor data support for the green development and low-carbon transformation of the industry.

On September 23, the 14th China Cement Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Technology Exchange Conference and the 6th Intelligent Summit Forum, sponsored by China Cement Network, officially opened in Zibo, Shandong Province. Shao Jun, chairman of China Cement Network, delivered a speech at the meeting.

Distinguished leaders, distinguished guests, experts and colleagues:

Good morning!

The autumn wind is cool, and the grand meeting begins. Welcome to Shandong and Damei Zibo to attend the 14th China Cement Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Technology Exchange Conference and the 6th Intelligent Summit Forum held by China Cement Network. On behalf of China Cement Network, I would like to extend my most sincere greetings to all the leaders, guests and colleagues in the industry who have come from afar, and express my warm welcome to all the partners who are working hand in hand for the transformation and upgrading of the cement industry!

At present, China's "double carbon" strategy has entered a critical period, and policies continue to anchor the development direction of the cement industry: the "Special Action Plan for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction in the Cement Industry" and the "2024-2025 Action Plan for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction" have made it clear that by the end of 2025, the proportion of production capacity above the benchmark level of energy efficiency in the cement industry should reach 30%. The production capacity with low energy efficiency requires technical transformation or withdrawal; the Opinions on Promoting the Implementation of Ultra-low Emission in the Cement Industry also requires that 50% of the cement clinker production capacity should be transformed to achieve ultra-low emission. At the same time, the Action Plan for Digital Transformation of Manufacturing Industry proposes to speed up the gradient cultivation of intelligent factories, tackle key problems of intelligent manufacturing system solutions and develop and apply standards, and promote the digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of manufacturing industry.

A series of policies not only delineate the "hard targets" of energy saving, carbon reduction and intellectualization, but also give the "road map" for implementation, and promote the cement industry from "passive compliance" to "active upgrading" with policy dividends and rigid constraints.

At the same time, the industry challenges are still severe: on the one hand, energy saving and carbon reduction have entered the "deep water area", the benefits of traditional technology schemes are diminishing, and the large-scale application of some new energy saving and carbon reduction technologies and schemes still needs to break through the cost and technical bottlenecks; On the other hand, in the process of digital transformation, some enterprises have fallen into the dilemma of "not turning, not daring to turn, not being able to turn", and the ability gap of intelligent transformation of equipment, data mining, and intelligent management and control of the whole process has gradually become the key to the differentiation of enterprise competitiveness. The double test of energy conservation, environmental protection and intelligent upgrading forces the industry to break the path dependence and explore a new path of "green + intelligent" integration.

As a think tank platform for deep cultivation of cement industry, China Cement Network always takes the transformation and upgrading of service industry as its responsibility, and actively helps the industry to explore energy saving, carbon reduction and intellectualization. With the deep industrial data resources accumulated over the years, China Cement Network has built a comprehensive and multi-level data monitoring and analysis system with big data, market information, cement index, concrete index and photovoltaic glass index as the core, relying on AI technology and cement big data, to provide comprehensive factor data support for the green development and low-carbon transformation of the industry.

Just yesterday, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially launched the Steady Growth Plan for the Iron and Steel Industry, which once again clarified the industrial upgrading path of scientific and technological innovation, digital transformation and green low-carbon transformation. The Steady Growth Plan for the Building Materials Industry, which is one of the top ten key industries, will be worth looking forward to.

Dear colleagues, transformation and upgrading is never a "solo struggle", but a "collective attack" that requires macro-sector policy support and industry cooperation. I hope you will take this forum as an opportunity to speak freely and have in-depth exchanges, build consensus on technological innovation, reach cooperation on resource docking, and jointly promote the cement industry on the road of energy saving and carbon reduction!

Finally, I wish this conference a complete success! I wish all guests and colleagues good health and success in their work!

Thank you all!
