CEMBUREAU taks part in Sustainable Energy Week

CEMBUREAU is pleased to announce three events which it will be hosting, on 9 February, within the context of the European Union Sustainable Energy Week. In addition, CEMBUREAU will be launching its brochure on the co-processing of alternative fuels and raw materials in the European cement industry. The first event is a conference on co-processing of alternative fuels and raw materials in the cement industry. The focus of this conference will be the key environmental benefits (including reduced CO₂ emissions and fossil fuel consumption) linked to the co-processing of alternative fuels and raw materials in the cement industry. This conference is open to all interested stakeholders, including policy-makers, NGO’s and citizens.

Secondly, there will be a cement plant visit to Maastricht, with coach transportation provided. The tour of ENCI’s (HeidelbergCement) plant will focus on how alternative fuels are used in the cement industry. Again, the tour is open to all interested stakeholders, including policy-makers, NGOs and citizens. Thirdly, there will be a cocktail at CEMBUREAU’s offices to celebrate the launch of a brochure entitled “Co-processing of alternative fuels and raw materials in the cement industry”. And finally, the European Concrete Platform, of which CEMBUREAU is a member, will be holding a session on 11 February 2009 on ‘Energy efficient buildings: the sustainable advantages of concrete structures’.
