7th Global FutureCem Conference & Exhibition 2027

18 - 19 March 2027, Brussels, Belgium

The 7th Global FutureCem Conference will examine the next steps forward for the cement industry in a low- or zero-carbon world, through decarbonisation.

Carbon emissions cost real money - and every tonne of CO₂ emission avoided means higher profitability. As the Scots say, "A penny saved is a penny earned."

Covering all the alternatives to OPC, including lower-, low- and no-clinker cements, SCMs (slag, ash, pozzolans etc), fillers, concrete recycling and calcined clays, process optimisation for decarbonisation, AI, and grinding advances, as well as low-carbon options for concrete, this conference will examine the way forward - to future cements.
