As I type this, we are now just over a month away from the 2025 edition of World Cement’s decarbonisation-focused conference – EnviroTech: The Gateway to Green Cement, with this year’s show taking place in Athens, Greece, on 9 – 12 March.

The decarbonisation of the cement production process remains one of the most significant (and urgent) challenges facing the industry. As I mentioned in my opening presentation at last year’s EnviroTech, climate change is now an inescapable scientific reality.
Indeed, it has since been confirmed by the UN that 2024 was the hottest year on record, marking an unfortunate capstone on a decade of record-breaking temperatures starting back in 2015. And we are already feeling the impact of that extra energy pumped into the climate through increasingly erratic weather patterns, and ever more frequent and severe environmental disasters. As the UN Secretary General, António Guterres, said in statement earlier this year: “Blazing temperatures in 2024 require trail-blazing climate action in 2025.” And with cement production responsible for ~8% of all man-made CO2 emissions, this industry has an opportunity to play a key role in leading that action.
That’s why we set up EnviroTech to act as a hub for leaders and experts from across the cement industry to network, collaborate, share insights and expertise, and forge new partnerships with other leaders in the decarbonisation process.
So, who can you expect to see on the agenda at EnviroTech? Our line-up includes leaders in sustainability and subject matter experts from companies, such as: FLSmidth Cement, Holcim, KHD Humboldt Wedag, Heidelberg Materials, Sinoma, Titan, ABB, Mannok, McKinsey & Company, CEMEX, Technip Energies, VICAT, and many more.
In addition to 3 days of high-quality presentations, we’ll be hosting a range of live Q&As and in-depth panel discussions, so you can put your questions directly to industry experts. You’ll also be able to meet leading equipment and solution providers in our exhibition, wind down and build lasting relationships at our multiple networking events, and make the most of the facilities at our five-star venue, the Divani Caravel.
There’s not long left now, so make sure to avoid disappointment: book your tickets today and secure your place at the forefront of the cement industry’s decarbonisation discussion.
