A substantial decrease in CO2 emissions for the cement and concrete Industry is at our fingertips and could be reached overnight with negative investment and with no additional cost. The only thing it needs is for the decision to be taken. The potential of Turkey as a reliable supplier of cementitious materials to Europe is...
Cement industry can gain advantages in digital competition if it will see digitalization as a driver of sustainability. It now has the choice between a restructuring and adjustment of the business model or a potential loss of the basis for the business. New business models are needed that place sustainability at the heart of business activities:...
Speaker line-up and topics for carbonZero Global Conference 2022
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...
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 of fossil fuel with carbon-neutral fuel is the key level to achieving the 2030 and...
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 actual and effective solutions? Edgar Martinez, Sustainability Senior Director at Cementos Argos will approach this...
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 by 2030. CO2 is mostly emitted by the reactions involved in clinker production, including fuel...
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...
