They have invited Dr Maciej Zajac from Heidelberg Cement to discuss a new approach to capture CO₂ and significantly reduce CO₂ emissions associated with cement production. This new carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) approach introduces a novel approach to CO₂ mineralisation of cement paste from recycled concrete. The feasibility of the process has been demonstrated at an industrial scale and, following further investigations into optimum carbon conditions and performance in novel composite cements, may be a game changer for industrial cement.

Participants will have a chance to discuss and interact with Maciej during a Q&A session after his presentation.
