Carbon peak carbon neutral | Take the green and low-carbon development road of cement industry well

"In order to further implement the requirements of the China Can Build 30·60 Action Plan (White Paper) and promote the implementation of the measures of the two-tier group to implement carbon peak carbon neutrality, we are formulating our own Action Plan to implement the strategic goal of Carbon Peak and carbon neutrality according to our own development status, clear the timetable and path map, and are formulating our own Action Plan to implement the Strategic goal of Carbon Peak and carbon neutrality." Zou Xingfang, director of the quality and Environmental Protection Department of the cement company, said, "It is preliminarily expected that the company will reach the carbon peak in 2027 in advance, and the carbon emission per unit of cement products will be reduced by 60% in 2060 compared with 2027, and carbon neutrality will be achieved through decarbonization technology and negative carbon projects."

Restore green mines under management

With the further implementation of the concept of green development, cement companies have a deep understanding of the dialectical relationship between enterprise development and ecological protection, vigorously promote the green transformation of mining, incorporate the construction of "green mine" into the company's long-term development plan, and continue to increase technological innovation and introduction through the establishment of a digital and intelligent control system that runs through the whole process of mine management. Effectively enhance the green development and utilization of mineral resources and scientific and technological innovation driving ability, belonging to Zhongxiang, Dangyang, Laohekou, Yicheng, Jiayu, Shimen and other six companies have been included in the national green mine list.

Extend/help the national carbon market construction

Participated in the country's first spot forward trading of carbon emission rights

While doing their own energy saving and emission reduction to achieve low-carbon development, cement companies also actively participate in carbon market trading.

As the first batch of carbon emission control enterprises to be included, cement companies have 8 controlled emission enterprises in Hubei Province, with clinker production capacity of 17 million tons and annual carbon emissions of more than 13 million tons, accounting for more than 5% of the total quota of the province. After 7 years of pilot carbon market practice, the company's carbon asset management from scratch, from easy to difficult, from extensive to detailed, has gradually formed two unified management of "carbon verification and carbon trading", opened up its own characteristics of carbon asset management mode.

"We have participated in the country's first CCER carbon crowdfunding project launched in Hubei Province, the country's first carbon emission rights spot forward trading products, etc., through a series of technological innovation and management innovation, the carbon emission compliance rate in 5 years has reached 100%, and the physical coal consumption per unit of clinker has decreased by more than 12%. Clinker comprehensive power consumption decreased by 7%, annual carbon emission reduction reached 400,000 tons, successfully won the first prize of the national cement industry carbon trading test, Hubei Carbon Market 2019 'Compliance Model Award', Hubei Carbon Market 'Emission reduction Contribution' award and other honorary titles." Referring to the effectiveness of participating in carbon trading, Xia Feng, senior director of the quality and environmental protection management department of the cement company, said proudly.

"Not only do we have a professional department responsible for carbon verification, carbon trading and carbon assets, the company also issues a professional market report every year, anticipates and evaluates this year's carbon market trading, and arranges trading plans. Now, the first compliance cycle of the national carbon market has been launched, and the national carbon market has entered a new stage of development. We will continue to explore and optimize the carbon asset carbon financial management model, increase the management system and talent team construction, deepen the carbon market, and use market-oriented means to help carbon peak and carbon neutrality." Facing the future, Xia Feng is full of confidence.

Jiayu cement kiln collaborative disposal of contaminated soil project

Cement companies' efforts to reduce waste and green up do not stop there. Cement kiln collaborative waste treatment is the company's environmental protection core business in recent years.

Cement kiln collaborative solid waste disposal system integration technology and engineering application technology, with strong solid waste comprehensive treatment capacity, can provide personalized system solutions for municipal solid waste treatment, municipal sludge treatment, contaminated soil and hazardous waste treatment.

Up to now, the cement company has built four cement kilns in Laohekou, Songzi, Yicheng and Dangyang to coordinate the disposal of domestic waste demonstration line, the annual disposal of domestic waste is more than 500,000 tons, compared with the traditional landfill process of domestic waste, the annual carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by nearly 400,000 tons, save more than 110,000 tons of clay raw materials, and save more than 140 acres of land. Good domestic waste "reduction, resource, harmless" disposal effect, so that the cement kiln has become a part of the urban infrastructure environmental protection facilities, with the town hand in hand, green development.
