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 efficient utilization becomes increasingly critical for the cement sector as it is included in the...
The ongoing energy crisis in Europe underlines the urgency to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels as well as imported raw materials. By tapping into the potentials of recycling and material efficiency approaches, the transition to fossil-free production can be accelerated in the short and long run. Findings from a recent study by Agora Industry...
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 constituents back in the original materials. The presentation is part of CarbonZero Global Conference 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 in the Top 10 CO2 generators in Portugal [ref2]. 8.7 million tons of CO2 were...
