Description
This dataset is a market dataset. Each market represents the consumption mix of a product within a specific geographical region, taking into account the process of transport to the consumer as well as the losses in this process. This activity represents the supply of general-purpose Portland cement for the cement manufacturing consumption activity. The data are based on national standards and publicly available literature.
Activity Description
This data set is a market activity data set, covering the average transportation distance of China's domestic cement market and the average transportation distance from overseas ports to domestic ports. Domestic transportation is mainly carried out by railway, waterway and road; overseas, sea transportation is mainly used. Average cement transportation losses are also included. The data sources are mainly the National Statistical Yearbook, 2023 Comprehensive Review of Annual Reports of Listed Companies in the Cement Industry, Cement.com, Cement Big Data Research Institute Li Kunming, 2024, Pub.151 "Distances Between Ports", National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), 2024.
Process Description
General Portland cement is a hydraulic cementitious material made by mixing Portland cement clinker, gypsum and some mixed materials in appropriate proportions and grinding them together. It is widely used in construction projects, infrastructure, prefabricated components and special projects. It is a key cementing material for concrete and mortar.
