About 24 representatives from 14 countries attended the conference, coming from various government ministries and local departments  in cement and environmental protection sector.

Outcome
-The energy efficiency improvement and emissions reduction are the development trend of cement industry. Realizing cement cleaner production and sustainable development are pressing tasks that we have to confront. China, like many other developing countries, has a large number of engineering constructions with the rapid economy development. However, behind the great economic and social achievements, our environment becomes increasingly deteriorative as a result of high energy consumption and high emission reduction. Chinese government has speed up the structural adjustment of cement industry to improve energy efficiency and reduce GHG emissions, and  promote the sustainable, steady-going and healthy development in cement sector.

-China Building Material Academy(CBMA), with strong research ability, has accumulated abundant experience and achieved significant results on cement cleaner production. This seminar organized by CBMA aims to introduce general situation of China cement industry development, cement production and sustainable policy, theories and practices of cement cleaner production to 24 officials from 14 developing countries. Through giving lecture by Chinese government official and cement production experts and on-site visiting in cement plants, officials from developing countries had acquired related information about cement cleaner production and found potential cooperation opportunities with Chinese cement enterprises. The significance of this seminar is not only to set up a platform to enlarge China cement industry’ international impact, but also to state our government’s determination to take the responsibility to enhance energy saving and reduce Green House Gas emissions as well as to help other developing countries in cement cleaner production.
