Back to the classroom for Paul, Daniel and Sean! They were taking part in a #WorldofWork day with the 2nd years in St Oliver's CC. During this 'Day in the Life' session about working in Irish Cement there were some really great questions from the pupils. Well done to all. 👏

By capturing and storing CO2 emissions, #concrete has the potential of becoming a carbon sink. Let's work towards unlocking this potential and building a #circulareconomy. 🌍🌱 Learn more about (re)carbonation and how it works 👇 cembureau.eu/media/kvlbxuuz…

The breakthrough technology of carbon capture storage/utilisation simply put: 🇪🇺 cement companies capture the CO2 emitted in #cement production directly out of the cement kiln. Then they can permanently store this CO2 or put it to further use. Goal is reducing emissions to 0️⃣

Project Fitzwilliam overall winner of the 40th @ConcreteIreland Awards. The jury complemented the design team, contractors and sub-contractors "Detailing is crisp, tightly controlled and well executed, exploiting the contrast between fine precast and rougher in-situ #concrete".

Co-processing is a win-win solution for the 🇪🇺 #cement industry, reducing #waste while reducing carbon emissions. By using alternative fuels ⛽ and raw materials 🪨, we can make a positive impact and contribute to a circular Europe. More on #coprocessing: youtube.com/watch?v=eXTxvD…

There’s lots of interest in the FUELFLEX® Pyrolyzer, a world first technology, developed by FLS, decarbonising our cement production. It’ll be on your television screens very soon, which we will keep you updated on, but until then watch this video➡️ youtu.be/5C8mRPpH2ow

Today is Endangered Species Day, an opportunity to celebrate, learn about, and take action to protect Endangered Species Coalition species. Our quarries are working to offer a lifeline for endangered #pollinators and solutions to reverse their decline across Europe. 🐝💛 cembureau.eu/media/ck5he3ww…

To celebrate UN #BiodiversityDay2023 we are very excited to share a virtual biodiversity tour of our Limerick Cement Factory. See the diverse range of habitats and some of the wonderful species on site. Enjoy! #biodiversity #NaturePositive irishcement.ie/limerick360tou…

Great news, the Barn Owl nest box fitted on our site in Limerick by The Barn Owl Project 🇮🇪 was used this year and the pair reared 5 chicks. A second pair nested in a crevice in our quarry. Photo by Hugh Sweeney

Thanks to the kind support of Cement Manufacturers Ireland (CMI), all students of Architecture and Architectural Technology now have access to the RIAI Conference for FREE. Taking place at the The RDS on 11 and 12 October. For further info and to book a ticket 👉riai.ie/whats-on/riai-…

🚀 Starting in 1 hour! Join our annual conference focusing on #decarbonisation of European buildings & boosting #circularity in construction. 🛠️ #CEMENT2050 🕙 10:00 AM CEST - Watch live: youtube.com/watch?v=GL4Fhg…

Ken McKnight, CEMBUREAU president, opens the event highlighting the progress of the industry in the past year. Over 100 decarbonisation projects listed on CEMBUREAU's website, 8 successful ETS innovation fund application - things are moving in the sector. #EUgreendeal #euets

Highlights from Director General Vandenberghe EU Climate Action: ✅Impressed by CEMBUREAU Carbon Neutrality Roadmap, a lot of work to be done together ✅1.2 billions invested in #cement sector, more should be done ✅#CCS should be an option for hard-to-abate sectors #CEMENT2050

Eric Bourdon, Deputy CEO Groupe Vicat, highlights the potential of concrete recycling and the necessity of decarbonising #cement production at all levels. Strategies include less clinker, alternative fuels, #CCUS etc. #Cement2050 📺

.Johannes Kreißig from DGNB : “Let’s focus on material production, usage, and integrating clean energy in buildings.” + potential in repurposing Europe’s vast array of unused buildings & materials, encouraging innovation in reuse and recycling. ♻️ #Cement2050

Well done to all of the volunteers 💪🏻
