Editorial comment
Normally, I use this space to address recent exciting news, updates, or trends from across the cement industry, but this month I wanted to provide a couple of announcements direct from the offices of World Cement.

Firstly, whilst it’s technically not brand new (and you may have already seen the adverts for it in previous issues), I wanted to make the official announcement here that World Cement now has a podcast!
Joe Rogan and his contemporaries need not worry, however. The creatively entitled, ‘World Cement Podcast’, focuses purely on key issues facing the cement industry and I have yet to find a link between the challenges of cement production in the 21st Century and UFOs, recreational hallucinogen usage, or Brazilian jiu-jitsu. My contact details are to the left if you have any leads…
For now, though, each episode features an insightful discussion with a stakeholder in the cement industry – we’ve featured guests from FLSmdith Cement, the GCCA, the MPA, CEMBUREAU, Ecocem, and Votorantim Cimentos, to name just a few. So far, we’ve covered topics like: decarbonisation, sustainability, innovation, collaboration, venture capital, and policy & legislation.
And we’ve got even more exciting episodes lined up for the rest of the year with more guests from industry associations, leading cement producers, and academia. So, please do make sure to take a look and have a listen – we’re available on all major podcast platforms, and you can find a catalogue of past episodes here: www.worldcement.com/podcasts.
The other exciting news is that our industry-leading decarbonisation-focused conference, EnviroTech, will return in March next year.
As for our venue: EnviroTech 2026 will be heading to London, UK, and will take place on 15 – 18 March at the Park Plaza London Riverbank. After all, where better to host a conference focused on tackling climate change than in a country famous for its obsession with the weather? Not to mention the UK’s world-leading cement decarbonisation projects underway at HyNet, the Peak Cluster, and elsewhere.
We’ll once again be featuring a high-quality 3-day agenda, filled with presentations from leading industry players, insightful Q&A sessions, and expansive panel discussions on key topics in the field of decarbonisation. But that’s not all – you can also expect a host of networking opportunities, a full exhibition, and a first-class venue with views overlooking some of the most famous sites in one of the world’s great cities.
Our full website with registration details will be up-and-running soon, but for now you can register your interest to ensure you don’t miss out on more details as they become available.

I hope to see you there.
