The December 2024 issue of Global Cement Magazine is an end-of-year special with our regular Top 100 report on the biggest cement producing companies and countries, plus our take on the main news trends of the past 12 months. We are also very pleased to kick off our ‘Leaders Series’ with an interview with Votorantim Cimentos CEO Osvaldo Ayres. On the technical side there are contributions on electric vehicles, alternative fuel trading, waste heat recovery and novel concretes. The issue’s plant report takes in Votorantim’s Alconera plant in Spain, while there are also contributions on exports from Pakistan and the Mauritanian government’s bold net-zero cement plant project.
