The Sustainable Development Of Refractory Industry Under The Situation Of Carbon Neutrality

"Carbon peak, carbon neutral" is coming! Stand in the perspective of the industry to look at refractory materials, refractory materials how high quality development? How to improve the capacity of independent innovation to reduce emissions and carbon reduction? How to improve the equipment level to achieve low carbon operation? How to improve the utilization efficiency of resource elements?

Refractory industry generally exists a total surplus, low industrial concentration, resource utilization rate is not high, as a global refractory production and consumption country, although refractory product capacity is large, but the high-tech content of the variety is less, the proportion of "green new" refractory products is low; Facing the international market with great potential, there are few high-grade, high-tech and high value-added products; The proportion of ordinary products is high, and the proportion of unshaped refractory products is low. In addition, the overall level of scientific and technological innovation and clean production in China's refractory industry is lower than the international advanced level. As a result of the above factors, China, which accounts for more than 70% of the world's output and consumption of refractory materials, has not produced the world's top ten refractory brands.

With the perspective of product application, in the past development, not only launched longevity, high efficiency, green refractory products, but also committed to the comprehensive research and practice of refractory application, low-carbon emission reduction, digital intelligence.

China's goal of peaking carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and its vision of achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. To achieve the goal of global carbon neutrality by 2050, the EU proposes seven key tasks, including energy, industry, transportation, construction and biodiversity, including building a clean, economic and safe energy supply system and promoting the clean and circular transformation of industrial enterprises. For high temperature industries with difficult emission reduction, such as iron and steel manufacturing, cement manufacturing, chemical industry, etc., it is necessary to prepare for technological innovation and process upgrading in the near future.

With the frequent natural disasters caused by global warming, as well as the concern of human beings to the environment and climate issues, steel and other energy-consuming industries are facing great pressure. As the basic material of high temperature industrial furnace lining, more than 70% of refractory materials are consumed in iron and steel industry. It has unshirkable responsibility for energy conservation, emission reduction and sustainable development of iron and steel industry.

We should seize and make good use of the important strategic opportunity period of carbon peak and carbon emission reduction, and establish the sustainable and healthy development of refractory industry on the basis of recycling, structural upgrading, digitalization and scientific promotion of energy conservation, emission reduction and carbon reduction in the whole industry chain. Promote transformation in development, seek development in transformation, innovation to drive the beauty of high-temperature industry.
