The November 2018 issue of Global Cement Magazine has a sustainability focus, with features on filtration, emission reduction and Dalmia Cement's aim to become carbon-negative by 2040. Elsewhere there are articles on due diligence, wear protection technology, the International VDZ Congress 2018, the Indian cement sector, the Middle East (with a focus on Jordan) and all of the latest cement sector news.

The October 2018 issue of Global Cement Magazine contains all of the latest global cement news, plus technical and feature articles on gears, emissions, quarrying and dynamic cement pricing. There's also an in-depth look at the latest in the west African cement sector (15 countries) and reviews from the FICEM Technical Congress 2018 in Panama and the RWM Exhibition in the UK. There is also a strong 'concrete flavour' as we analyse the Top 25 global concrete producers by production volumes. This is, we believe, the first time that anyone has published such a list. There is also a look at how cement activation can rejuvenate cement that has lost efficiency through prolonged storage, offering concrete manufacturers the opportunity to use less cement while still attaining high strength.

The September 2018, to be distributed at the 8th International VDZ Congress in Düsseldorf, Germany, has a wide range of German features and interviews. This includes an in-depth discussion with Dr Martin Schneider, CEO of VDZ, an update on the German cement sector, an account of IKN's recent upgrade work at HeidelbergCement's Burglengenfeld plant, a summary of the fortunes of the country's large plant manufacturers (from VDMA) and interviews with KHD and Di Matteo Group. Elsewhere, as well as the latest news, there's the results of our recent climate change attitudes survey, plus features on gypsum mining in Mauritania and the efficacy of two-way radios in the cement sector.
