Event Description

CEMBUREAU, the European Cement Association, is holding a half-day conference on the morning of 16th October at TownHall Europe, in Brussels. Following the success of its previous annual conferences, and as a new EU political cycle starts, this event aims to focus on bringing industrial decarbonisation forward. 
 
The conference will provide a platform for EU policy makers and stakeholders to exchange ideas on the key policies and approach to fast forward decarbonisation investments in Europe’s industries. 
 
In the wake of the 2024 European election, calls have multiplied to highlight the need for an EU industrial policy alongside the Green Deal. Whilst the coming months will be dedicated to the forming of the next College of Commissioners, the decarbonisation of industrial sectors, as well as industrial competitiveness, are likely to top the European agenda for the coming years. 
 
As the European cement industry, we have published our updated Net Zero Roadmap in May 2024. CEMBUREAU’s updated Net Zero Roadmap looks at an increased ambition for the decarbonisation of the EU cement industry, in light of ongoing investments. It also sets out the indispensable policies to achieve this ambition. 
 
The intention of this year’s event is to focus on bringing industrial decarbonisation forward – where should industrial policy fit in the upcoming Commission’s agenda? What actions are needed to bring forward investments at EU and national level? What are the concrete obstacles to investments? How can we foster cooperation throughout the value chain to facilitate decarbonisation?  
 
 
For in-person attendees the event kicks off at 09:30 am CET on October 16th.
For online attendees the livestream will be available as of 10:00 am CET.
