In the November 2024 issue of Global Cement Magazine we are very pleased to speak with Dato’ Yeoh Soo Keng, the AFCM President, about the cement sector in the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), the countries covered by the AFCM event. There’s a review of the German cement sector and a look at the Carbon2Business project being undertaken by Holcim at its Lägerdorf plant. There’s also an in-depth cement plant report from Iraq in the Middle East & African cement section.

Technical topics in this issue include alternative fuels, ultra-fine slag grinding, plant audits, marine loading/unloading, health and safety compliance and a concrete admix that absorbs atmospheric CO₂. Elsewhere, there’s an in-depth interview with the Association of Low-Carbon Cement & Concrete (ALCCC) and a Global Cement report on white cement markets.
