March 2026

The March 2026 issue of Global Cement Magazine explores the latest in the global cement sector, including a look at how thermal energy storage is ready to transform the way thermal heat is sourced in the global cement sector with Electrified Thermal Solutions, and a brace of articles on decarbonisation within the lime sector.

We also hear the latest research into the benefits of using low-CO2 cement in concrete with the VDZ. This issue’s country report takes a look at the reasons behind the rise - and ongoing fall - of Chinese cement production volumes. We also catch up with DALOG and Ferry Capitain, two family-owned companies that are seeking to benefit from a new strategic partnership, discover the benefits of using silos to store slag and take a look at the very successful inaugural CemFuels Asia Conference, which took place in Bangkok, Thailand.
