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.

Despite commitments, the global cement industry has not reduced its CO2 emissions significantly in recent years. This shows net-zero is not achievable by a silver bullet solution. Since any change represents a disruption of the manufacturing process, a more feasible way is to take a number of smaller steps. Against this backdrop, Loesche introduces its Greenkey Solutions paving the way to sustainable cement production.
