Asia Green Cement Manufacturing Summit 2021 Event Background

In order to implement the national cement industry's comprehensive promotion of energy conservation and emission reduction standards congress spirit, according to the requirements of the federation's "Notice on the preparation of the "13th Five-Year Plan for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Standards and Implementation Plan",in conjunction with the requirements of the relevant federation's key work in 2017, the China Cement Association completed the preparation of the “Work Plan and Implementation Plan for the Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Standards for the 13th Five-Year Plan for the Cement Industry”.It made a top-level design for the “13th Five-Year Plan” energy conservation and emission reduction work in the cement industry, carried out institutional and sub-annual work arrangements for the long-term and arduous task of energy saving and emission reduction in the cement industry, ensuring that energy conservation and emission reduction work is carried out step by step, long-term and consistently.

On September 27, 2017, the “Technical Guidelines for Energy Conservation Monitoring and Implementation Guidelines for Cement Industry” completed by the Energy Conservation Department of the MIIT was reviewed and accepted.The “Guideline” targets cement enterprises, implements energy consumption limit standards for unit products, ladder price policy, backward elimination systems, enforces energy efficiency mandatory standards for energy-using equipment (products), energy measurement management systems, energy consumption statistics systems, and establishes energy-saving target responsibility system, energy efficiency level, energy-saving monitoring on eight aspects of standard compliance activities.It analyzes the main energy-consuming equipment in the cement industry, the main types of energy consumption,methods of statistical measurement, adoption of the folding coefficient, energy consumption accounting of each major process, and the mandatory standard benchmarking method from the technical level; Clarified the main contents, technical specifications, methods and monitoring results of the energy conservation of the cement industry;The verification instruments,procedures and results processing methods were unified.At the same time, the guideline also provides a rich and detailed case for energy conservation supervision staff'sreference.

National environmental protection work in 2018 puts more stringent emission control requirements on the cement industry.From March 1st, “2+26” cities will implement special emission limits for air pollutants, Zhejiang and other provinces require special emission limit modifications.The MEE has put forward more clear control requirements for fugitive emissions, and also higher requirements for local environmental protection departments to use pollution discharge permits to implement control and management measures.

On July 1, 2019, the MEE, NDRC, MIIT, and the MOF issued the "Industrial Kiln Air Pollution Comprehensive Treatment Program", the Env Air [2019] No. 56 document,the document requires active promotion of upgrading and retrofit of pollution control in the cement industry, encourages cement enterprises to implement full-process pollution deep treatment, and installs and operates automatic monitoring and management in strict accordance with the regulations on discharge permit management.Cement clinker kiln should be equipped with low-nox burners, using staged combustion technology, and denox facilities such as selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR).High efficient dust removal facilities such as laminating bags at the kiln head and end;Desox facilities shall be provided for the sulphur dioxide flue gas that cannot meet the standard discharge.

On July 5, 2019, the China Building Materials Federation issued the "2019 Implementation Plan for the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution in the Cement Industry". In 2019, the energy consumption and pollutant emissions per unit of the cement industry were fully met, and the energy consumption per unit of product reached an advanced value not less than 80%.The proportion of production lines that have reached the international leading level has reached 30%;On the basis of pollutant emission standards, the major pollutants emissions in 2+26 cities reached by the end of 2019:particulate matter ≤ 10mg / Nm3; nitrogen oxides ≤ 100 mg / Nm3; sulfur dioxide: ≤ 50 mg / Nm3;Cement enterprises in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the surrounding areas, the Yangtze River Delta region, and the Fenwei Plain, the main pollutants emisiions reached by the end of 2019: particulate matter ≤ 10mg/Nm3; nitrogen oxides ≤ 200 mg/Nm3; sulfur dioxide: ≤ 50 mg/Nm3 .Other regions reached special emission limits by the end of 2020.To achieve pollutant emission and carbon emission reduction, it is estimated that sulfur dioxide emissions will be reduced by 28,000 tons, nitrogen oxides will be 40,000 tons, dust will be 31,000 tons, and carbon emissions will be reduced by about 30 million tons.

Local governments have initiated relevant policy development and implementation to promote implementation.

On May 9, 2017, the Environmental Protection Department of Jiangsu Province issued a notice on the implementation of the deep reduction of nitrogen oxides in the non-power industry.The notice requires that the NOx emissions from the cement industry be further controlled on the basis of non-power industry emission standards, and the total amount of pollutant emissions will be greatly reduced.The cement industry's nitrogen oxide emissions are not higher than 100 mg/m3 before June 1, 2019.Compared with the original standard GB4915-2013 "Cement Industry Air Pollutant Emission Standard", the special emission limit is 320mg/m3, which is the largest tightenning.

In April 2018, Hebei Province issued the "Cement Industry Air Pollutant Emission Standards (Draft)".Cement kiln and kiln tail implementation standards: particulate matter 10mg/m3, sulfur dioxide 50mg/m3, nitrogen oxide 150mg/m3.Existing enterprises will still implement DB13/2167-2015 before December 31, 2019, and implement the new maximum allowable emission concentration of air pollutants from January 1, 2020.From the date of implementation of this standard, the newly-built enterprise will implement the new maximum allowable emission concentration of air pollutants.

On October 9, 2019, the Department of Ecology and Environment of Hebei Province sought the “Ultra-low Emission Standard for Air Pollutants in the Cement Industry (Second Draft)”.

On April 4, 2019, the Shanxi Provincial Eco-Environment Department issued a letter on the solicitation of the “Emission Standards for Air Pollutants in the Cement Industry of Shanxi Province (Draft )”.

On June 3, 2019, the Department of Ecological Environment of Shandong Province issued the "Regional and Integrated Emission Standard of Air Pollutants". The standard will be implemented on November 1, 2019. The cement industry in key control areas is also required to meet the ultra-low emission standards. The emission requirements of the cement industry in the general control area are also stricter than the national standards strictly.

On June 10, 2019, the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Eco-Environment issued the Notice on Implementing the National Emission Standards for Special Emission Limits of Air Pollutants. According to the announcement, the cement industry needs to implement sulfur dioxide by July 1, 2020. Specific emission limits for nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and volatile organic compounds.

On July 29, 2019, the Department of Ecology and Environment of Henan Province issued a draft for the “Emission Standards for Air Pollutants in the Cement Industry”. The drafr requires that all cement enterprises in Henan be retrofitted into ultra-low emission before the end of 2019, that is, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides will reach 10, 35 and 100 mg/m3 respectively.The NOx standard will be upgraded to 50 mg/m3 by 2021.

On September 23, 2019, the start-up meeting for the preparation of local emission standards for air pollutants in the cement industry of Anhui Province was held in the Provincial Department of Ecological Environment.
