In álle EnergyVille scenario's is het Kairos@C project met CO2 afvang in de haven van Antwerpen een absolute no-brainer. Maar, dit veronderstelt dat de industriële activiteit hier behouden blijft, en dat is voor vele bedrijven geen evidente aanname... tijd.be/ondernemen/che…

🌿 Nature conservation is at the 💚 of the #cement industry. From quarry rehabilitation to pollinator protection, we’re taking action to restore ecosystems & protect wildlife. 📢 Explore our progress through #biodiversity case studies from our industry: cembureau.eu/media/pdrn5bqy…

1 year after the #AntwerpDeclaration, 400+ business & industry leaders met in Antwerp to discuss the #CleanIndustrialDeal with President @vonderleyen . The message is: #DeliverTheDeal ⏳ ✅ Action from EU leaders ✅ A strong investment case ✅ Steps to restore competitiveness

🗣️ "The #cement industry is ready to invest—now we need a #CleanIndustrialDeal that makes it happen." – says Koen Coppenholle, our CEO. With 100+ #decarbonisation projects underway, will the policy framework match the industry's pace? 👇 euractiv.com/section/eet/op… @EUClimateAction

Let the numbers speak! 🔢 From 2021 to 2022, the EU27 clinker-to-cement ratio dropped 2%, hitting a record low of 75.8%. This shift replaced 3.9M tonnes of CO2-intensive #clinker with greener alternatives. 👏 2021-2022 alone: 2.02% emissions cut!

Our #netzero ambitions call for strong markets for low-carbon products: 📉Craft EU low-carbon policies 🔄Update procurement rules 🏗️Ensure fair regulations ♻️Enforce landfill bans & promote recycling 🌱Value #carbonation as a carbon sink More: cembureau.eu/library/report… #Cement2050

@Tycho_vh @JorenVerschaeve Hey Tycho, steeds bereid om hierover en andere cementgerelateerde topics eens bij te praten.

Ik zit hier in cementcijfers te duiken en waarom verbruikt België zoveel cement? Per inwoner meer dan 600 kg/inwoner, terwijl EU gemiddelde en dat van de buurlanden rond de 350 kg/inwoner ligt... @JorenVerschaeve
