The 6th Global FutureCem Conference will take place in Munich, Bavaria on 21 - 22 January 2026
'Maximising profit from cement industry decarbonisation'
6th Global FutureCem Conference, Exhibition & Awards on cement industry decarbonisation
21 - 22 January 2026, Munich, Germany
"The event has been fantastic, one of the very best I ever participated in." Dr Joe Harder, OneStone Consulting
The 6th Global FutureCem Conference will examine the next steps forward for the cement industry in a low- or zero-carbon world, through decarbonisation. Cement producers - who already produce, package, distribute and sell cementitious materials - are ideally placed to become the leaders in the new ‘no-carbon’ cements. Covering all the alternatives to OPC, as well as low-carbon options for concrete, this conference will examine the way forward - to future cements.
Alternative fuels are covered in our sister-event Global CemFuels; Cement industry carbon capture and sequestration is covered in our sister-event Global CemCCUS; and Slag beneficiation, trade and use is covered in our sister-event Global Slag
