The future of concrete recycling is taking shape here: through the targeted sequestration of CO₂ in demolition concrete, the project is investigating an innovative approach to improving the separation of aggregate and cement stone during demolition. The optimized separation of aggregate and hardened cement paste enables the recovery of valuable secondary materials and, thus, makes an important contribution to strengthening the circular economy in the construction sector in order to achieve sustainability goals.

As plans are progressing for the CCUS infrastructure for transporting, storing and using CO₂, it is becoming increasingly clear that the separated CO₂ must be very pure in order to be used or stored. CC technologies are currently being planned with considerable engineering effort and electricity consumption for gas cleaning systems to separate unwanted accompanying substances. This is where this project comes in. It aims to investigate an innovative concept that could significantly reduce this effort.

Precise material balances and up-to-date transfer factors are essential for evaluating trace element emissions in cement clinker production. Outdated data makes it difficult to use modern, CO₂-neutral raw materials and fuels. The project aims to update the transfer factors to support industry, the environment and climate protection.

Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly relevant for decision-making, operational excellence and digital transformation. This seminar gives a structured introduction to the fundamentals of AI, providing the basis for deriving strategic implementation approaches in industrial applications. Over three days, the programme combines conceptual foundations with practical industrial perspectives. It supports industrial leaders in understanding the opportunities, limitations and requirements of AI and in assessing how AI can be applied meaningfully in their own organisational context.

This online seminar equips you with the knowledge and tools needed to systematically evaluate CO₂ capture technologies applied to industrial processes such as the clinker burning process. You will be introduced to the key benchmarking methodology and will learn how to assess technical performance, economic feasibility, and site-specific applicability in a structured way. Through practical examples and case studies, you will see how data-driven benchmarking can support informed decision-making on the path toward climate-neutral production.

In this training you will learn how to conduct and evaluate cement kiln and mill trials. Kiln and mill examinations are carried out in order to gather data on the performance and to validate warranty performance data such as the output, the energy consumption, input/output ratio or the efficiency. Using this data as a reliable basis, you can for example optimise individual components of the operating system as well as the cement quality, reduce energy demands as well as emissions, evaluate material cycles and reduce coating formation.
