Achieving climate neutrality in the cement and lime industries poses a particular challenge, given that the majority of CO₂ emissions are caused by raw material-related emissions from the decompo-sition of limestone. The capture and storage of CO₂ (carbon capture and storage, CCS) is therefore pivotal in enabling these industries to achieve climate neutrality. The selection of a suitable capture technology is contingent on site and plant-specific conditions. In many cases, multiple production lines or products exist which generate substantial CO₂ emissions.

The ‘Environmental data of the German cement industry 2023’ provides a comprehensive overview of the raw material and energy requirements as well as the current emissions of German cement manufacturers. The emissions of dust and dust constituents as well as inorganic and organic waste gas components are presented. Our environmental data also includes carbon dioxide emissions, the reduction of which is a particular focus in terms of the decarbonisation of cement production.
The 9th International VDZ Congress is just around the corner: From 6 to 8 November 2024 - for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic - the VDZ Congress will provide a forum for global exchange in the cement industry. The focus in 2024 will be on key topics in cement process technology and the decarbonisation of the entire cement and concrete value chain. In the following interview, Dr Martin Schneider, Chief Executive of VDZ, explains what the biggest challenges and bright spots in the industry are at the moment, what contribution VDZ‘s CO₂ Roadmap will make to climate neutrality in the industry, and what key topics participants can look forward to at the 9th International VDZ Congress.

VDZ's Education and Training Programme 2024/25 ranges from teaching technical basics and technical expertise to further training for managers. We offer individual, tailor-made seminars on the topics of clinker and cement production, maintenance, quality assurance, environmental protection, and concrete technology. In this new brochure you will find two new seminar topics reflecting current developments in the cement and concrete industry.
