The 2024 "June 60 Green Building Materials Day" themed event hosted by the China Building Materials Federation with the theme of "Singing the main spin of 'green'and writing a new movement" was held in Beijing on June 6.
The so-called "60s" is a new concept proposed by the China Building Materials Federation at the end of 2021, emphasizing the creation of "zero outsourcing of electricity, zero fossil energy, zero primary resources, zero carbon emissions, zero waste emissions, and zero employees" building materials factories from six dimensions: green energy, energy security, comprehensive utilization of resources, low carbon, cleanliness, and intelligence. The proposal of the "60s" concept has a long-term development guiding role for the transformation and upgrading of building materials enterprises.
In 2023, the first "June 0th Green Building Materials Day" will be established. The original intention of the establishment is to fully implement the new development concepts of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing, actively respond to the "3060" call for carbon peak and carbon neutrality, and practice the building materials industry The development goal of "suitable for industry and quality and benefiting mankind" will convey to the society the determination and carbon reduction proposition of the building materials industry for green development, so that more building materials companies and building materials people can deeply understand and love their own industries. Understand the profound connotation of the "60" factory proposed by the building materials industry, and then use "60" as the starting point, actively explore the "60" road, and unswervingly follow the path of green, low-carbon, safe and high-quality development.
So, how should the building materials industry achieve the "60" goal?
"Achieving the '60s' goal must rely on new productivity." Yan Xiaofeng, president of the China Building Materials Federation, said that over the past year, new breakthroughs have been made in green and low-carbon technologies in the building materials industry. The construction of the "60s" factory has achieved phased results. The green concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of building materials people.
According to reports, the "60th" factory has attracted great attention inside and outside the industry. When the United Nations Industrial Development Organization visited the China Building Materials Federation, it believed that the "60th" factory is not only applicable in the building materials industry, but also in other industrial fields; it is not only applicable domestically, but also applicable globally. Because this is a concrete and directional indicator, and it is also the ultimate goal of green and low-carbon factory construction.
Chen Guoqing, executive vice president of the China Building Materials Federation, further introduced the achievements of green and low-carbon development in the building materials industry since the establishment of the first "June 60 Green Building Materials Day".
Chen Guoqing said: "my country's cement industry has achieved a carbon peak, and the building materials industry is expected to achieve a carbon peak before 2025. The era when the building materials industry moves towards carbon neutrality is coming."
According to reports, compared with 2020, in 2023, the energy consumption per 10.3% per 10,000 yuan of added value of my country's building materials industry will drop by 10.3%, and the carbon dioxide emissions per 10,000 yuan of industrial added value will drop by 16%; the industry public service platform for building materials carbon labeling and environmental labeling projects has been launched. Trial operation; there are more than 4000 green building materials certification companies, and the number of certified products exceeds 10,000.
In terms of the construction of the "60s" factory, currently, 19 units have organized and carried out 18 "zero-zero" and one "20s" demonstration factory research; cement clinker production capacity that reaches or exceeds the benchmark level accounts for more than 15%, an increase of more than 10 percentage points from 2020; major breakthroughs have been made in large-scale fuel substitution technology for cement kilns, and the comprehensive energy consumption of cement clinker is less than 50 kilograms of standard coal/ton, reaching the domestic leading and international advanced level.
Our reporter learned at the theme event of "June 60 Green Building Materials Day" that the group standard of the "General Rules for the Evaluation of June 60 Factories in the Building Materials Industry"(hereinafter referred to as the "Standards") was officially released. This is the first time in China that relevant standards for "60" factories have been formulated and released. The "Standard" clarifies the definition of terms for the "60" series of factories, and puts forward general requirements for the evaluation of the "60" series of factories in terms of basic requirements, evaluation scope, and evaluation indicators. The release of the "Standards" provides reference technical standards for the creation and evaluation of "60" factories in the building materials industry, and also provides an overall technical framework for the formulation of evaluation standards or specific requirements for 60 factories in various sub-fields.
