The January 2024 issue of Global Cement Magazine includes Proudfoot's Top 5 Tips for cement producers in 2024, Top 10 producer profiles and the winning entries in our annual photography competition.

There are technical contributions on fans, baghouses and gears, plus features on Saudi Arabia and the Middle East to tie in with the Arab-International Cement Conference in Cairo, Egypt, and a look at EcoAdmix's HDT additive for concrete.

The February 2024 issue of Global Cement Magazine starts with a look at what architects want from our sector in 2024, while thyssenkrupp Polysius offers a potential solution in the form of its meca-clay process to activate clay without calcination.

Eggersmann and Ecocem Environmental Solutions discuss their recent mechanical and biological treatment (MBT) plant in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, while there's a full run-down of the Global FutureCem Conference, held in late 2023. There are 'concrete' solutions to the carbon crisis from Paebbl and Ultra High Materials and Global Cement's take on cement in major South American markets.

The March 2024 issue of Global Cement Magazine leads with an update from the Global Cement & Concrete Association's Cement on its Net Zero Progress Report. Technical features include guidance on how to solve storage and handling issues with difficult-flowing bulk materials, a Turkish monitoring case-study from Schaeffler Lifetime Solutions and a Belgian hydraulic road binder trial from Bikoserwis.

Elsewhere the issue contains a plant report and company update from Medcem, features on sustainability in the German cement sector and the market in Kyrgyzstan plus event reports from the Pfeiffer Panel Florida and the AUCBM 2024 that took place in Cairo. On the concrete side we speak to self-healing concrete developer Enzymatic.

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.
