Starting January 2026, the South African government proposes to increase the carbon tax more rapidly every year, to at least US$30 by 2030, accelerating to higher levels by 2040, and up to US$120 beyond 2050. Expanding uptake of AFRs and...

2030 is a crucial benchmark for the carbon neutrality journey: reducing the CO2 footprint while producing enough cement to meet demand will be challenging. Over 80% of the cement operation’s carbon emissions are released during clinker production. Also, the substitution...

The cement industry is moving increasingly towards the use of alternative fuels for the complete decarbonization of cement and concrete. It raises questions about safety and handling new fuels and materials. Fires are especially common in factories with an increased...

The cement manufacturing process is highly intensive in heat consumption and carbon emissions. Stakeholders are increasing pressure to decarbonize not only the cement industry but the construction industry, too. But how we can achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 by implementing...

The industry’s leading professionals will aim to answer crucial questions at CarbonZero Global Conference on November 10-11 in Lisbon. The global capacity of cement production reached an estimated 4.4 billion tonnes in 2021, and it is predicted to grow moderately...

The cement industry is responsible for almost 8 % of global CO2 emissions. RDF and alternative fuels require a dedicated transport system inside cement plants and the use of pipe conveyors is nowadays state of the art. At CarbonZero: Alternative...

Dr. Ian Skocek, the R&D Program Manager for Carbonation Technologies at Heidelberg Materials is sharing “Circular economy of concrete, cement, and CO2”, explaining technological advances Heidelberg Materials has made to enable the 100 % recycling of concrete by reusing all...

KEO International Consultants has been named a winner in the Corporate Building category at the Chicago Athenaeum International Architecture Awards 2022 with the Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA) Headquarters building. The world’s first and oldest annual global design awards program and...

The cement and construction industries are among the highest CO2 emissions generators in the world. The cement industry alone accounts for 8% of global emissions, not far behind the agriculture industry with 12% [ref]. In 2021, the cement industries were...

Holcim is joining the most innovative industry event in Europe for decarbonization by using alternative fuels in the cement industry and cementitious materials in cement and construction. Dr. Edelio Bermejo is a key speaker at CarbonZero: Alternative Fuels and Raw...
