Speakers:
An overview is given over cutting-edge decarbonization technologies and solutions developed by thyssenkrupp Polysius. We will present tailored solutions that support the cement industry’s transition toward a low-carbon future, demonstrating how these technologies contribute to meeting global climate targets and improving production efficiency. The main levers for decarbonization are defined, their potential in decarbonization quantified and example discussed. We will introduce technologies to maximize share of alternative fuels as well as solutions to reduce clinker factor. Focus will be laid on MecaClay, a technology to produce Activated Clay without any carbon emissions. Finally, the presentation will emphasize the advantages of Pure Oxyfuel technology on the path of clinker production to Net Zero emissions.
Speakers:
The cement industry stands at a critical crossroads, where sustainability imperatives and market competitiveness must converge. Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) have emerged as a key enabler in the race toward low-carbon cement production, offering a dual advantage—reducing carbon footprints while enhancing profitability. However, unlocking the full potential of fly ash, slag, silica fume, and natural pozzolans requires a holistic, data-driven, and market-aligned strategy. This session will go beyond traditional SCM discussions by addressing how an optimized SCM integration strategy can: • Accelerate decarbonization in alignment with 2030 and 2050 Net Zero targets • Ensure CBAM & EPD compliance to secure global market access • Optimize SCM sourcing and supply chain resilience for cost-effective deployment • Leverage digital maturity (D²I) to enhance SCM performance tracking and predictive modeling • Drive financial viability by linking SCM optimization to investment, funding, and carbon credit monetization Drawing insights from real-world implementations, this presentation will provide a strategic roadmap for cement producers to move beyond SCM substitution as a compliance measure and instead capitalize on it as a competitive advantage. The discussion will also highlight the role of regulatory trends, digital transformation, and financial structuring in making SCMs an integral part of future-proof cement operations. By the end of this session, attendees will gain a pragmatic, business-oriented perspective on SCMs, ensuring they are not just a sustainability requirement but a profitability driver in the evolving global cement market. SCMs are no longer an alternative—they are the future. Let’s unlock their full potential!
