Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other six departments issued the Work Plan for Steady Growth of Building Materials Industry (2025-2026), clarifying the key measures of the cement industry: new cement clinker production capacity is strictly prohibited, and capacity replacement plans must be formulated for new reconstruction projects. It is strictly forbidden to transfer cement clinker production capacity from non-key areas of air pollution prevention and control to key areas of air pollution prevention and control. By the end of 2025, cement enterprises shall formulate a capacity replacement plan for the production capacity exceeding the project filing, so as to promote the unification of the actual production capacity and the filing production capacity; by the end of 2025, 50% of the cement clinker production capacity in the key areas of national air pollution prevention and control shall be transformed. Start the national carbon emission trading in the cement industry, allocate the share based on the idea of carbon emission intensity control, and link the quota with the product output (capacity).
