The September 2024 issue of Global Cement Magazine will be distributed at the FICEM Technical Congress in Cartagena, Colombia and at the Global CemFuels Conference in Dublin, Ireland. The bumper issue is full of features on alternative fuels, as well as plasma technology, refractories, fan monitoring, logistics, plant control, biocides, concrete recycling, health and safety and more, plus a look ‘inside the mind’ of cement sector management. There are cement plant reports from Ireland and Colombia, plus a report on the latest from the cement sectors of the Caribbean and Central America.

The July - August 2024 issue of Global Cement Magazine is hot on the topic of CO₂ capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) with articles on the future EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and CCUS project funding, as well as a full review of the highly-successful Global CemCCUS Conference, which took place in Oslo, Norway. Elsewhere in this issue, there’s an intriguing look at how the ‘Furno Brick’ could disrupt current business practices by putting small scale, low-cost clinker production in the hands of contractors, a look at bucket elevator design, and a thorough report on the current status of the Iranian cement sector.

The June 2024 issue of Global Cement Magazine includes our annual look at the UK cement market, with Edwin Trout from the Cement Industry Suppliers’ Forum. There’s also a review of a number of varied markets in Eastern Europe: Belarus, Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania and Ukraine. Much of this region is volatile, but opportunities are present for producers that are prepared to play the long game.

Technical content comes on the topics of ball mill optimisation, quarrying and stockpile monitoring. There’s also two articles on CO₂ capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), including a special feature on evoZero from Heidelberg Materials, the world’s first CO₂-neutral cement. In the global concrete section, we hear from Louis Structures, which has come up with a way to produce light-weight, low-CO₂ aggregates from municipal solid waste.

Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) takes centre stage in the May 2024 issue of Global Cement Magazine, which will be distributed at the 66th IEEE-IAS/PCA Cement Industry Technical Conference in Denver, US and the inaugural Global CemCCUS Conference in Oslo, Norway. The issue includes a plant report from GCC’s Pueblo plant in Colorado, ahead of the IEEE-IAS/PCA visit, and a review of the famous CCS project at Heidelberg Materials’ Brevik plant, which will be toured by delegates at the CemCCUS event.

We also hear from Fortera about its recently-launched ReCarb plant in Redding, California, which uses waste CO₂ to produce a reactive form of calcium carbonate, and from Ardent and RHI Magnesita, which are using membranes to reduce CO₂ emissions from refractory production in Austria. Capsol Technologies, recently selected for a CCUS feasibility study in the UK, presents inorganic CO₂ capture technology too.

There are technical features on condition monitoring, decarbonisation, alternative fuels and the use of biocarbon in concrete. There are also reviews of the cement sectors of Austria and Switzerland.
