The September 2026 issue of Global Cement Magazine includes reports on the cement industries of Switzerland and Central America and the Caribbean. There’s also alternative fuels coverage, with an account of Firefly’s long-standing work for a Mexican refuse-derived fuel producer. Elsewhere in this issue, there’s an eye-opening look at common misconceptions around the role of marketing in the cement sector and a detailed report on how cement will be an early indicator of how the EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) will affect global trading patterns. On the technical side, this issue takes in kiln seals, kiln monitoring, separate grinding, drag chains and concrete mineralisation, while front cover advertiser Aerzen Group details a lime sector case-study about the use of its Load Balancing Control (LBC) software for compressed air blowers.
