Although energy conservation, environmental protection and intelligent manufacturing are two different aspects, they are absolutely not separated, but closely linked.

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. Lu Guixin, former first-level inspector of the Department of Raw Materials of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, delivered a speech at the meeting.

Distinguished guests and delegates,

good morning!

It is a great pleasure to gather with you in Zibo to attend the 14th China Cement Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Technology Exchange Conference and the 6th Intelligent Summit Forum to discuss the high-quality development of the cement industry under the new situation. First of all, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations on the opening of this conference and forum! Since

this year, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as its core, various departments in various regions have conscientiously implemented the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, adhered to the general tone of steady and progressive work, fully, accurately and comprehensively implemented the new development concept, accelerated the construction of a new development pattern, actively strengthened macro-policy regulation, and further promoted the unification of the whole country. Efforts have been made to strengthen the domestic cycle, and the national economy has maintained an overall steady and progressive development trend. From January to August, the added value of industries above scale increased by 6.2% year-on-year. In the raw materials industry, the chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing industry grew by 7.6%, the ferrous metal smelting and calendering industry by 7.3%, and the non-ferrous metal smelting and calendering industry by 9.1%, while the building materials industry (I. The added value increased by only 0.5% , and the national cement output in the first eight months was 1.105 billion tons , down 4.8% year-on-year.

The cement industry is an important basic industry of the national economy. In the past decades of reform and opening up, the cement industry has always resonated with the national development. From the rapid development of urbanization to the emergence of major infrastructure, the cement industry has provided a solid support for national construction. At the same time, through the unremitting efforts of the whole industry, the cement industry itself has also been well developed, from small to large, from weak to strong, and now China is not only a big cement producer in the world, but also a powerful cement manufacturer. However, we must also clearly realize that with the development of large-scale national construction to a certain historical stage, the reduction of cement demand is inevitable, and the scale of production capacity and supply capacity can not be synchronized with the decline of demand in the short term. In particular, the cement industry has suffered from serious overcapacity for more than a decade. Although the state has made great efforts to resolve the contradiction of excess capacity and achieved certain stage results, due to the continuous shrinkage of market demand in recent years, the "involution" dilemma faced by the industry has become increasingly prominent, and overcapacity is still a "roadblock" restricting the high-quality development of the whole cement industry. How can cement industry achieve both reduction and development in the next step? That is to say, in the case of reduced demand, we can also achieve high-volume development, which is a major issue that must be solved in front of our whole industry.

In my opinion, in accordance with the requirements of the national macro-policies of implementing the new development concept, developing new productive forces, taking a new road to industrialization, building a strong manufacturing country and achieving carbon peak and carbon neutralization, China's cement industry will continue to be large and strong in the 15th Five-Year Plan period and even for a long time to come. We must strive to achieve high-end, intelligent, green and international . Although the cement industry has made great achievements in the "four modernizations" in recent years, and a number of advanced models have emerged, the overall level of the industry is still not high. This conference focuses on energy conservation, environmental protection and intelligent manufacturing, which is the key to the realization of the "four modernizations" in the cement industry. Although

energy conservation, environmental protection and intelligent manufacturing are two different aspects, they are absolutely not separated, but closely linked. Energy-saving and environmental protection in cement industry is a systematic project with far-reaching significance and great challenges. It is not only an inevitable choice to cope with environmental pressures, but also an inherent demand for the industry to achieve high-quality and sustainable development. It is necessary to adopt a multi-pronged comprehensive measure of " technological upgrading, fuel substitution, resource recycling and intelligent management ". The intelligent transformation of the cement industry is a profound industrial revolution. Its core is to use data as a new factor of production, through connection and calculation, and ultimately achieve business optimization and innovation. For cement enterprises, the promotion of intellectualization requires top-level design and step-by-step implementation, starting with solving the most painful links (such as energy saving and consumption reduction, equipment maintenance), and gradually expanding to the intellectualization of the whole process and the whole industrial chain. I hope that with the help of the platform provided by this conference and forum, we can have extensive exchanges, fully discuss and offer suggestions, so as to contribute our wisdom and strength to the promotion of intelligent transformation and high-quality development of China's cement industry.

Finally, I wish this conference a complete success! Thank you!
