Technology development and industrial application of large-scale TRM vertical roller mill

The cement industry is undergoing multiple transformations: decarbonisation, digitalisation, and demographic change. Preparing the workforce for this evolving environment is therefore becoming a strategic success factor for cement companies. While core competencies in process technology and environment...

As the world’s third largest source of industrial carbon emission, the cement industry faces an arduous task of carbon emission reduction. This paper systematically reviews the cutting-edge progress of decarbonization technologies in China’s cement industry.

Pakistan’s cement industry recovered in FY 2025 from the downturn in the last three years. However, the industry is fragmented and divided into North and South. This market review will provide the latest production data, the main players in the market and their production shares.

The whole world is talking about artificial intelligence and that it is the quantum leap for all industries. Also for the cement industry?

From 23 – 25 July 2025, the 6th International Conference on Polycarboxylate Superplasticizers (PCE 2025) was held at Century Park Hotel in Bangkok/Thailand. The conference provided valuable insights into the basics of PCE molecular design, high-performance applications and the key role of PCEs in the ongoing “green” transition of the cement industry to low-carbon binders, especially those formulated with diverse supplementary cementitous materials (SCMs).

When it comes to the sustainable digital transformation of the cement industry, a well-coordinated mix of electrification, hardware, and software solutions for both core production and secondary processes plays a crucial role. At the heart of this portfolio lies CEMAT.

The illusion that net-zero can be achieved in the cement industry by implementing CCUS systems (Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage) is about to burst. Here, the projections put forward by the cement industry are discussed in detail and compared with reality. Accordingly, this market review is a wake-up call which also shows that roadmaps for 2050 should be re-written.

The cement industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Driven by the need to decarbonize, the depletion of traditional supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) like fly ash and slag, and the demand for regionally adapted raw materials, the sector is being pushed to rethink its technological foundations. In this context, SCMs are increasingly recognized as key to reducing CO₂ emissions and conserving resources.
