China has released a five-year plan to advance the green and low-carbon transformation of its industrial sector, setting a target of peaking carbon dioxide emissions from industry by 2030.

The 4,000 tpd clinker production line at Qilianshan Cement's Zhangye project, China, has entered the final preparation stage for commissioning.

A new precast concrete plant has been commissioned in Zabaykalsky Krai, Russia. The facility is designed to produce approximately 25,000m³ of reinforced concrete products per year.

The Magnitogorsk Cement and Refractories Plant (MCRP), part of MMK Group, is equipping its rotary kilns with an Automated Emissions Monitoring System (AEMS). The kilns are the plant's main sources of atmospheric emissions.

According to Alexey Matushansky, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of Russia, domestic production of air pollution control equipment continues to grow steadily. In 2025, output exceeded RUB 52bn, up 20% compared to the previous year. Export performance also improved, with overseas shipments reaching RUB 6.34bn, a 10% increase year-on-year.

In 2025, Iskitimcement JSC allocated about RUB 460 million for the implementation of programs to improve the environmental safety of production. The work is being carried out as part of the federal Clean Air project, in which Iskitim has participated since September 1, 2023.

A modern electrostatic precipitator has been commissioned on rotary kiln No. 2 at LLC “Topkinsky Cement” (a subsidiary of JSC “HC “Sibcem”).
