Talents working in the global cement industry gather in Seoul to exchange opinions on carbon neutrality and share the latest technological trends.
According to the Korea Cement Association on the 2nd, the '2025 Cemtech Asia' will be held from the 9th to the 12th at the Conrad Hotel in Yeouido, Seoul. This event is organized by Cemnet, a global cement industry expert based in the United Kingdom, and sponsored by the Korea Cement Association.
Cemtech is the most prestigious international event in the cement industry in terms of technology exchange related to manufacturing processes, quality, and the environment. It is held three times a year in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
This year's Cemtech Asia, held in Korea, focuses on the greenhouse gas reduction for carbon neutrality in the future cement industry. Kim Eui-cheol, director of the technology development office at the Korea Cement Association, will give the keynote presentation on the topic of 'Korean Cement Industry and Carbon Neutrality.' Jean Michel from Sampyo Group plans to explain the process of low-carbon promotion in the Korean cement industry.
Additionally, this event will introduce the carbon neutrality roadmaps of cement industries in emerging markets such as China and India, hydrogen-based technologies for improving combustion efficiency, cases of artificial intelligence (AI) process utilization, changes in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies, and environmental facility technologies optimized for greenhouse gas reduction.
As a special program, a forum is also being organized to discuss the rejuvenation of the Korean cement industry. Domestic cement industry experts, including lawyer Kim Jin-hyo, Professor Kim Jin-man, and Professor Park Jeong-hoon, will participate in this forum. Also attending will be Mas, the president of Cemnet, and Peter Hoddinott, former president of the European Cement Association.
A representative from the Korea Cement Association noted, 'The holding of the '2025 Cemtech Asia' will serve as a forum reaffirming that the cement industry's efforts to preserve the future global environment can be realized through carbon neutrality and can guarantee sustainable development in the future.' They added, 'In particular, it will provide a valuable opportunity to confirm the level of greenhouse gas reduction efforts and technological advancements in the domestic cement industry through exchanges with overseas experts.'
