The development of the refractory industry has changed with international policy changes. Countries have made commitments to the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. The world is developing in a low-carbon direction. China plans to achieve carbon peaking by 2030. Although the refractory industry is not a key industry for CO2 emissions, it should also respond to the international call for low-carbon transformation.

1. Green and low-carbon demand is a new direction for the development of the refractory industry

In recent years, high-quality enterprises in the refractory industry have focused on integration within the industry, and the concentration has increased. Under the general trend of green and low-carbon layout, China has built 2,121 green factories, dozens of companies have made outstanding contributions, and the refractory industry as a whole has Carbon has reached its peak and is currently moving towards carbon neutrality.

2. Promoting breakthroughs in international refractory technology in the context of carbon neutrality

The refractory industry will always develop towards green and low-carbon development.With the development of high temperature industry, refractory materials take on more functions. Since refractories are composite materials with multiphase and multi-scale complex structures, their service environments are diverse and complex, and the integrated design of structure and function and the preparation of advanced servo presses are the core of the development of new advanced refractories. The finite element numerical simulation, the integration of advanced ceramic technology, and the gradient multi-layer composite design are used to achieve the optimal design and preparation of key service performance.
