Training Workshop
Introduction
The main partners and contributors for the training program:
67 participants, including 15 international delegates from 3 Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate(APP) countries of Australia, Japan, and U.S., as well as international organizations and 52 Chinese delegates from key cement enterprises, attended the workshop.
Outcome The training program of CSI Protocol, a widely accepted and adopted tool in dealing with GHG emission from cement industry, is absolutely necessary. Chinese government gave high priority to conserving resources and protecting the environment. Obligatory targets for saving energy and reducing emissions were set in the Outline of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development. 41 participants were issued the training certificate of CSI training by the experts. Mr. LIU Ming from NDRC as Chinese government representative proposed a 3-step CSI data collection process in China cement industry, the first step is to start collecting data from the joint ventures using Chinese and foreign investment, such as Lafarge, Cemex, Italicementi, etc. The second step is to collect data in the large and medium-sized companies which have received CSI training and the last step is to spread data collection to all cement companies in China. The Chinese organizer closed the training by thanking all APP members and experts for their diligent work and effort during the workshop and all participants for their active involvement. |

 The 2nd
Cement Sustainability Initiative (CSI) Protocol Training Workshop during
November 18～20, 2008 in Zhuhai, China
Introduction
The main partners and contributors for the training program:
46 participants, including 10 international delegates from 3 APP countries of Australia, Japan and India, as well as international organizations of WRI and WBCSD and 36 Chinese delegates from key cement enterprises, attended workshop.
Outcome Different from the first CSI training workshop, the teaching approach of second CSI training successfully shifted from presentation-oriented to exercise-oriented. Participants who have attended the first training obtained better teaching result because of the practical exercises in class. Meanwhile, many newcomers could acquire CSI Protocol at a short time. 30 participants were issued the training certificate of CSI training by the experts. Through this training, CSI Protocol made further development in China cement industry. Introduction
The main partners and contributors for the training program:
Representatives from Chinese government and American government, as well as experts from LBNL, WRI, E3M, Inc. and 50 Chinese delegates from Chinese key cement enterprises attended the workshop. Outcome Sino-US Project, a comprehensive project involved two countries’ government, aims to invent, implement and diffuse the energy efficiency improvement and emission reduction technologies, as well as to increase alternative fuel use in cement industry of China. The success of this workshop of three tools’ training, including Cement Sustainable Initiative (CSI) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Protocol tool, Benchmarking and Energy-Saving Tool (BEST) for cement and Process Heating Assessment and Survey Tool (PHAST), was attributed to the diligent work and effort of international expert team made up of LBNL, WRI, E3M and scientific research institutions in China, as well as the industrious study of all the attendees. In the closing ceremony, 42 participants were issued the training certificate by the experts, and all the participants expressed their satisfaction on this workshop’s achievement because of the new training method attaching importance to both theory and practice. Academic Exchange
Introduction
Outcome The 2nd International Expert Workshop on Cement & Concrete Technology for Sustainable Development from 8th October to 13th October, 2008 in 3 cities in China with one day each in Beijing, Shenyang and Jinan was jointly organized by Committee for the Organization of CANMET/ACI International Conferences, and CBMA, and sponsored by UNIDO-ICM, Shenyang Architecture University, and University of Jinan, the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism (RET) of Australia, Elkem International Trade (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., Center of Excellence APP-Cement Task Force, and Cement Branch of the Chinese Ceramic Society. The theme of this workshop focused on ‘Safety, Durability, and Sustainability on Cement and Concrete Technology for Sustainable Development’, addressing key issues of cement and concrete sector. The workshop invited 12 international experts from Australia, Canada, Japan, Norway, USA and 4 Chinese experts to present lectures and reports on the recent progress of cement & concrete technology for sustainable development. More than 300 participants from institutes, universities, and companies attended the 6-day seminar. The academic exchange greatly aroused the awareness of sustainable development in cement and concrete sector in China and promoted technical progress. Most of the participants said many new ideas and information gained from the workshop would be useful for their future research in cement and concrete field.
Outcome Elkem Workshop on Application of Silica Fume (China), was organized by Elkem Materials (Shanghai) and China Building Materials Academy, and sponsored by UNIDO-ICM. More than 80 participants from institutes and companies attended this workshop. Silica fume is now widely used around the world for concrete applications when high strength, high durability and improved sustainability are required. The workshop was intended to give engineers, designers and concrete technologists a better understanding of silica fume and its application in concrete. The workshop, combining cases and solutions based on experience, provided a practical guidance of silica fume for designers and concrete technologists. More importantly, designers and concrete technologists understood the potential of silica fume. |
