If we had to sum up 2025 in three words, they'd be: transformation, collaboration and delivery. From our new identity to the launch of the #Cement Action Plan and the growing focus on #competitiveness across Europe, our video looks back at the people, partnerships and ideas that helped shape it. 👷‍♀️💡

Low-carbon cement exists 🧱 Scaling its use depends on demand, procurement and clear rules. #LowCarbon #Construction #Cement

Waste can be a resource ♻️ Cement production uses it to reduce emissions, replace fuels and support circularity. #CircularEconomy #Cement

🖋️We join the call for a globally competitive and technology neutral post-2030 framework. Access to stable, dispatchable, competitive net zero #electricity is critical to ensure the continued operation of European industries. ⚡️ Learn more in our paper 👇 www.cementeurope.eu/media/z0vaga...

CCUS is essential for cement 🏭 But capture alone isn’t enough. Infrastructure, storage and clear rules are needed to scale. #CCUS #CarbonCapture #Cement

CBAM is key to ensuring a level playing field for EU industry 🌍 Its success now depends on implementation, enforcement and alignment with ETS. #CBAM #ClimatePolicy #Cement

Holcim and Cement Europe welcomed DG Clima & DG ENVI to Obourg to see #decarbonisation in action, from Go4Zero to co-processing driving #circulareconomy ♻️ The solutions exist, now delivery depends on the right frameworks, permitting and investment conditions 🤝 @euenvironmentandclimate.ec.europa.eu

The “One Europe, One Market” roadmap sends a strong signal on #competitiveness, with energy and industry clearly prioritised. 🇪🇺 The focus now shifts to delivery: ETS, infrastructure and CO2 networks must enable real investment. 🔗 www.cementeurope.eu/about-us/cem... #OneEuropeOneMarket

Projects are ready. Scaling them depends on investment conditions and funding tools that match industrial reality. #Decarbonisation #Cement

#Circularity is already part of how the #cement sector operates. From alternative fuels to recycled materials, it’s happening every day across Europe 🔄 At ECESEP today: scaling it needs the right framework. #CEStakeholderEU www.cementeurope.eu/about-us/cir...

Europe’s #cement sector is already delivering the transition. 🎯 120+ projects are underway across Europe. The real challenge now is scaling, with the right conditions: competitive energy, CO₂ infrastructure and a level playing field. That’s what the #CementActionPlan is about.

You can electrify. You can switch fuels. And still… emissions remain. For #cement, up to 40% must come from CCUS. No CO2 infrastructure = no #decarbonisation at scale. 🗞️ More on @Parlimag from our Director for PA & Comms, Cliona Cunningham 👇 www.theparliamentmagazine.eu/partner/arti...

A strong exchange at the European Parliament 🇪🇺 hosted by MEP Yannis Maniatis. 120+ projects are already underway 🚧 The transition is happening. Now we need the right conditions to scale it ⚡🌍 More 👇 www.cementeurope.eu/media/ktkjh3...

120+ #decarbonisation projects are already underway in Europe’s #cement sector. The transition is happening. Now we need the right conditions to scale it: energy, CO2 infrastructure, funding and a level playing field. More 👇 www.cementeurope.eu/media/zggmmq...

#Cement is part of everyday life, from housing to infrastructure to energy systems. The transition is underway. Scaling it now depends on the right conditions. Thanks to the @ec.europa.eu for hosting and to Commissioners @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu & @jessikaroswall.ec.europa.eu for the exchange.

Across Europe, low-carbon projects are already happening. A local #cement industry, investing and innovating close to where materials are used. Now we need the framework to scale them. Explore our map of innovation projects 👇 www.cementeurope.eu/innovation-p...

Strategic autonomy relies on infrastructure. Military mobility, energy security, resilient supply chains… it all depends on materials that perform when it matters most. #Cement delivers durability, reliability and local value chains. Europe’s resilience is built. 🏗️

#CBAM is entering the implementation phase. How will emissions be calculated? How will verification work? Join the European Commission’s CBAM information session on 19 March (10:00–11:30 CET) with DG Taxud experts. Register by 17 March 👇 ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run... @eu-economy-finance.ec.europa.eu

Strategic autonomy isn’t abstract. It’s the roads that move goods. 🛣️ The bridges that connect regions. 🌉 The energy systems that keep Europe running. 🔋 That’s what #cement quietly delivers every day. Europe’s resilience starts with strong foundations.

Europe’s climate ambition is clear. But will the investments happen in Europe? Deep #decarbonisation needs a business case: ✔ Predictable #ETS ✔ Watertight #CBAM + export solution ✔ Lower energy costs ✔ Demand for low-carbon materials Climate & competitiveness move together. Read more 👇

⚖️ #CBAM levels the playing field for imports. 📈 Imports up. 📉 Exports down. And EU producers carry full #ETS costs on global markets. If we want investment and #decarbonisation in Europe 🇪🇺, CBAM must address exports too.

Europe says it wants industrial #decarbonisation. Now the next EU budget has to prove it. In The Parliament Magazine, our Public Affairs & Comms Director Cliona Cunningham argues the next #MFF must turn climate ambition into real industrial investment. 🔗 www.theparliamentmagazine.eu/partner/arti...

⚙️In Antwerp today, President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu said “Decarbonisation and competitiveness can go hand in hand.” For #cement: housebuilding & infrastructure, lower energy costs, a level playing field on carbon & the right conditions for CCUS. #AntwerpDeclaration antwerp-declaration.eu

We commented on recent media coverage related to the #EUETS. We reiterate our support both for the EU ETS and #CBAM as key drivers of #decarbonisation and underline the importance of an orderly review focused on long-term investment and #competitiveness. www.cementeurope.eu/media/fvklit...

#Coprocessing turns non-recyclable waste into energy and materials, cutting landfill, reducing fossil fuel use and supporting local economies. #Cement kilns are already part of the solution. #WasteManagement www.cementeurope.eu/policy-focus...

Ever wondered what Europe is built on? 🤔 Homes, metros, bridges, wind farms, data centres… it all starts with #cement. A competitive transition needs competitive foundations.

✨ Happy New Year! We’re kicking off 2026 ready to work with the Cypriot EU Council Presidency on the big files shaping Europe’s clean industrial transition; CBAM, energy, CO₂ infrastructure, funding & skills. Here’s to a year of progress and collaboration. 🌍💪 @cy2026eu.bsky.social

#Cement is the invisible backbone of Europe’s daily life. Homes, hospitals, transport, clean tech and many more aspects. Keeping this value chain competitive and climate-neutral is essential for Europe’s future.

🤝 A constant ally for Europe’s future. We partner with policymakers, communities, and industry to shape a sustainable, competitive Europe. From local economies to European autonomy, our strength lies in collaboration and purpose. 🎥 Watch how we’re building tomorrow, together. #Cement

#Cement is a driver for change. Cement Europe stands for innovation, circularity, and progress. We’re rethinking how we build, with low-carbon materials, new technologies, and climate ambition at our core. We’re not only part of the transition, we’re driving it.

🏗️ For centuries, #cement has built Europe; homes, schools, infrastructure. Our story is one of reliability and innovation. We are Cement Europe, a new identity built on a legacy of strength. 🎥 Watch our story unfold. #ShapingChange #BuildingSociety
