Once a year, ZKG CEMENT LIME GYPSUM is published with a green logo. Once a year, ZKG CEMENT LIME GYPSUM is dedicated to the topic of sustainability, future-proof cement production and ways to fulfil the various roadmaps of the cement and lime industry.

To support the initiative of becoming a climate neutral economy and thus contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of German industry, Open Grid Europe GmbH (OGE) presents a CO2 pipeline infrastructure for Germany.

Planeteers, a Hamburg-based Climate Tech startup, is pioneering ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) for carbon dioxide removal and decarbonisation of hard-to-abate industries, such as lime or cement.

In the production of porcelain objects, gypsum moulds are disposed of after their wastage. A process for recycling these moulds and returning them to the porcelain production is being developed and tested under practical conditions.

The cement industry still earns a huge amount of money. But it is getting more difficult to make money with cement because of the industry’s carbon footprint and the necessity for a transition to a green industry.

In the global push towards net-zero emissions, optimizing the use of coal combustion residuals (CCR) is crucial. Repurposing coal ash, a byproduct of thermal power plants, within the cement industry offers both environmental and economic benefits.

The German lime industry is facing particular challenges on its transformation path. It is now setting a decisive milestone on the path to carbon-neutral production with the publication of the new roadmap for CO₂ avoidance.
