4 The Situation of Cement Industry in China Cement Production Growth GDP Growth 亿吨 亿元 亿吨 1980 年 1990 年 2000 年 2009 年 亿元 1980 年 1990 年 2000 年 2009 年 亿吨 0.87 亿吨 1980 年 1990 年 2000 年 2009 年 亿元 亿元 1980 年 1990 年 2000 年 2009 年 Requirements based on social development Cement is hugely used as building material China experiences quick economic growth Much investments are put into infrastructure construction Urbanization is speeding up Residential structures increase significantly 4

5 The Situation of Cement Industry in China Global energy consumption:41.2 billion tons of standard coal % China energy consumption:2.8 billion tons The first state pollution source survey : Exhaust gas emission quantity ranks third after power and metallurgy sectors Emit SO million tons, NO X 1.7 million tons, dust 3 million tons in China energy consumption: 2.8 billion tons of standard coal % China cement industry:0.19 billion tons Heat consumption is 120 kg standard coal/ ton of clinker, power consumption is 120 kwh/ton of cement. Based on calculation: the production of a ton of clinker releases 815 kg direct CO 2 emission, with 390 kg from combustion, 425 kg from decomposing; the production of a ton of cement with power consumption releases 70 kg indirect CO 2 emission. 5

6 Energy policy for Chinese industry Energy shortage Consumption increase Reservation decrease Structure worse More needed Economic growth GDP grow Urbanization PCI increase Potential threat Chinese central government also set up a mandatory target to reduce GHG emission by 40% - 45% for unit GDP during next 10 years ( ). 6

7 Energy policy for Chinese cement industry To guarantee the energy saving and emission reduction with cement industry in China: to execute relative laws, policies and regulations to speed up the structure reform for cement industry to enact energy saving and emission reduction codes (standards) for cement industry to promote the use of alternative fuel to develop and use BAT and BP to strengthen international cooperation and information distribution For energy saving and emission reduction, we are taking action! 7

8 Series standards for cement industry Establish three standard systems for energy saving and emission reduction, including scientific and accurate statistics system, monitoring system and assessment system, in order to achieve the settled target. Cement plant design code for energy saving The limitation of energy consumption for unit cement product Energy consumption auditing for cement production Power consumption auditing for cement production The calculation method for the CO 2 emission from cement industry Technical requirement for environmental labeling products: lowcarbon cement 8

9 Cement plant design code for energy saving (1)For limestone crushing, limited to 2 kwh/t. (2)For raw material grinding, limited to kwh/t. (3)For clinker burning, Limited to kwh/t. (4)For coal grinding, limited to kwh/t. (5)For cement grinding, limited to kwh/t. (6)For packing, limited to 1.2 kwh/t. 9

10 The limitation of energy consumption for unit cement product For existed cement plant Classification Coal consumption for clinker kg/t Power consumption for clinker kwh/t Power consumption for cement kwh/f Energy consumption for clinker kg/t Energy consumption For cement kg/t 4000t/d or more ~4000t/d 1000~2000t/d t/d or less Grinding plant For newly established cement plant Classification Coal consumption for clinker kg/t Power consumption for clinker kwh/t Power consumption for cement kwh/f Energy consumption for clinker kg/t Energy consumption For cement kg/t 4000t/d or more 2000~4000t/d 1000~2000t/d t/d or less

11 Energy consumption auditing for cement production According basic requirement of energy assessment, work can be done as following: General information of energy consumption; Energy flow chart; Data collection; Energy consumption analysis; Efficiency analysis of each equipment; Consumption/Product analysis; Energy cost analysis; Retrofitting assessment; Energy saving amount calculation. 11

12 Energy consumption auditing for cement production Energy flow chart for kiln system (kj/kg-cl) 12

13 Power consumption auditing for cement production Power equilibrium auditing the translations loss assessing power consumption of offices and others auditing power consumption for raw meal preparation, including mining, crushing, drying, homogenization and grinding, etc Power from co-generation kWh Power from national grid kWh auditing power consumption for clinker burning, including kiln motor, high temperature fan, cooler, etc auditing power consumption for cement making, including grinding, packing, etc Effective power used by equipments kWh Transmitting loss kWh Wire loss kWh Translation loss kWh Motor loss kWh Lighting kWh auditing high power consumption units with 20 kw, such as crusher, mill, big fan, big motor, etc 13

14 Calculation Method of CO 2 Emissions with Cement Production The standard standardizes the basis, scope, conversion and reporting of CO 2 emissions from cement production enterprises and provides a unified CO 2 emissions accounting method for the cement industry. This standard is based on " IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories " and ISO14064 "Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories and Verification" and the basic principles of "The Cement CO 2 Protocol: CO 2 Accounting and Reporting Standard for the Cement Industry" widely used internationally. In combination with the technical characteristics of the Chinese cement industry, the CO 2 calculation method here can reflect the actual situation of Chinese cement production enterprises more accurately. The standard provides the calculation method of CO 2 emissions for cement production enterprises. The standard can be applied to calculate the direct and indirect CO 2 emissions in every production process of the cement industry. 14

15 Calculation Method of CO 2 Emissions with Cement Production Terms and definition Carbon dioxide Source --The physical unit or process that produces and releases CO 2 into the atmosphere Emission Factor--CO 2 emissions per unit of energy and/or raw material consumed, which is determined by statistical analysis and calculations. Direct carbon dioxide emissions--emissions from CO 2 sources that are owned or controlled by the company. For example, CO 2 emissions from carbonate materials decomposition and fuel combustion in a cement kiln. Biomass fuels--organic biomass(animal or plant) that can be used as fuel or used as fuel after processing, such as biodiesel, which does not include fossil fuels. Indirect carbon dioxide emissions--co 2 emissions resulting from the consumption of purchased electricity and clinker etc. For example, CO 2 emissions associated with purchased electricity released during its generation in the power plant are considered indirect CO 2 emissions. Combustible Carbon not Including in Fuel Combustible carbon in raw materials or other non-energy materials, such as unburned carbon in fly ash. Alternative raw materials--wastes with appropriate chemical ingredients that can fully or partly replace natural mineral raw materials in cement production, e.g., carbide slag, furnace blast slag etc. Operational boundaries--boundaries of production and scope of calculation set by the enterprises when calculating the carbon dioxide emissions. Alternative Fuels--Wastes with a certain calorific value( 21000kJ/kg)that can fully or partly replace coal and other fossil fuels in the cement production process. Absolute quantity of CO 2 emission--total CO 2 emissions from CO 2 sources that are owned and controlled by the company and emissions resulted from the consumption of input energy in a statistical period. Co-processing Waste Materials --Activities that transferring wastes original or pretreated to kiln systems of cement production to incinerate, for the purpose of hazard-free and comprehensive utilization. Total Quantity of CO2 Emission Total CO2 emissions of direct carbon dioxide emissions, indirect carbon dioxide emissions and other indirect CO2 emission from cement production enterprises in a statistical period, which do not conclude CO 2 emissions of biomass fuels, waste co-processing, waste heat utilization of cement kiln exhaust. 15
