Cement is not only an important basic industry of the national economy, but also a real “carbon emitter”. China is the world’s largest country in cement manufacturing, producing nearly 60% of the world’s cement. In 2020, China’s cement industry will emit about 1.23 billion tons of carbon dioxide, accounting for about 14% of the country’s total carbon emissions. It is the main source of carbon dioxide emissions in the manufacturing industry. Under the “double carbon” goal, the development of cement industry, which is regarded as high energy consumption, has reached a key node.
The goals of carbon peak and carbon neutralization are forcing the industry to further study low-carbon methods. As the world’s largest system integration service provider of cement technology and equipment engineering and one of the few enterprises with complete industrial chain in the international cement technology and equipment market, Sinoma International Engineering Co.Ltd(600970) has established the world’s highest level cement technology and equipment service system with independent intellectual property rights, making full use of its own efforts in improving the energy utilization efficiency of cement production, alternative fuels, low-carbon clinker, low-carbon cement Based on the technical advantages of carbon emission reduction technologies such as carbon capture, purification and resource utilization, formulate the low-carbon development technical route of the whole chain of cement industry, and serve the transformation and upgrading and high-quality development of the industry.
To this end, the reporter of “talent” interviewed Liu Yan, Secretary of Sinoma International Engineering Co.Ltd(600970) Party committee and chairman of the board of directors.
