The decarbonisation of the cement industry remains challenging due to several structural barriers — including the fact that around 60% of emissions originate from the chemical calcination of limestone rather than fuel combustion, the high investment costs required for technological upgrades and emission allowances, and the continuous, energy‑intensive operation needed to sustain production. In this context, cement producers face mounting pressure to reduce emissions, improve operational efficiency and remain competitive in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.
At Cemtech Europe 2026, held under the theme “Innovation and manufacturing excellence” at the Hyatt Regency Hotel from 7 to 9 October 2026 these themes and others will be addressed and solutions presented for the clean energy transition of the cement industry.
The event will bring together cement industry leaders, plant operators, equipment suppliers, technology innovators, consultants and policymakers from across Europe and beyond. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the strategies, technologies and investments shaping the future of cement production, including calcined clay and SCM integration, AI applications in cement and concrete, alternative fuel maximisation, process optimisation and digital plant performance, manufacturing excellence across the full production line, global market trends and investments, and updates on regulatory frameworks such as the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
Exergy is pleased to announce its participation as a conference exhibitor. Our team will be present at booth n° 9, ready to welcome visitors, share our expertise and illustrate how Exergy’s waste heat recovery systems can support the cement industry in achieving net‑zero goals through modular, pre‑engineered and preassembled solutions designed to accelerate project implementation and adapt to diverse plant needs.
