Our Leaders Series hears from Cemex CEO Fernando A Gonzalez, while there are technical contributions on fans, grinding aids, clinker coolers and conveying.

The issue also takes in Cimpor's Souselas plant in Portugal, which is using a full gamut of approaches as it decarbonises its process. Elsewhere, we look at the increasingly sustainable cement sectors of Australia and New Zealand, while authors from Holtec Consulting consider the rapidly-growing cement markets of Tanzania, one of the biggest in East Africa.

The February 2025 issue of Global Cement Magazine - to be distributed at the Global FutureCem Conference in Istanbul, Türkiye, has a decarbonisation theme, with contributions on calcined clay, waste heat recovery, process optimisation, new collaborations and more. There’s also a look at how the world Cement Association CEO Ian Riley expects cement demand to change over the 25 years to 2050, as well as a plant report from Colombia, a Leaders Series contribution from Lebanon and the latest from the cement industry in Türkiye.

The March 2025 issue of Global Cement Magazine presents the CEO of a UAE-based cement company in discussion as part of our Leaders Series, alongside a talk with departing World Cement Association CEO Ian Riley, who reflects on developments around the world since he took the job in 2019.

Lime is front and centre in the Technical segment, with articles that will be of interest to anyone contemplating kilns and carbon capture. Other technical articles explore parts of the cement production line, including mills, gearboxes and remote monitoring equipment, and introduce a new supplementary cementitious material in use in Australia.

Elsewhere in the issue, we look back at the 5th Global FutureCem Conference in Istanbul, Türkiye – and linger in that country for a full review of the cement sector there. We also have two articles on China: a country report and a special focus on alternative fuels.

There’s also a review of the cement sectors of central Europe and a plant report from Holcim Mannersdorf, the destination of the Global CemCCUS Conference’s field trip.

Elsewhere in this issue we carry features on CCUS projects and the use of plasma as a heat source for cement production, as well as calcined clays, optimisation, process monitoring, fans, plant engineering and cement analysis. Our Leaders Series hears from Marcel Constantin Cobuz, CEO of Titan Group, who offers his unique take on where the global cement sector finds itself in 2025.
