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.

Heidelberg Materials introduces the world’s first net-zero CO2 cement.
CarbonFree’s SkyCycle technology harnesses chemistry to turn dirty flue gas into high-value calcium carbonate.
Cement plant quarries typically provide approximately 90% of the raw materials needed to make cement, but because they account for only about 10% of total operating costs, they are easily neglected. Even today, many operators only pay attention to the quarry when problems arise with raw material quantity or quality. This article shows how all operators can better understand their natural resources through block modeling and mine planning.
Owl Eye is an innovative system for real-time volume measurement and management of bulk solids stockpiles with >98% accuracy. This lowers costs, avoids excess stock and promotes efficient utilisation of raw materials and, ultimately, improves the efficiency of processes.
