Now in it’s second year, the Decarb Connect’s festival connected over 400 senior execs from international hard-to-abate industries this year to kickstart their decarbonisation journey. The event mission was to accelerate industrial decarbonisation through collaboration innovation.

The festival brought together industrials, investors, policymakers, game changing technologies and innovators – all sharing evidence-based strategies and road maps that will inspire all stakeholders to rise to the net zero challenge. If you are responsible for defining industrial net zero strategy, or for implementing it, this is your cohort.

Spread over 3 days, the event convened a cross-industry audience to take part in live panels and keynotes, Q&As with senior decarbonisation leaders, project updates from around the world, 1-2-1 meetings, closed-door roundtable groups…and much of this is now available in the On-Demand library which you can access for only £199 + VAT.

Cement manufacturers face regular production losses due to inefficiencies in their production process – like kiln throughput, cement or clinker quality, ammonia cost optimization and energy inefficiencies to name just a few. At the same time they also grapple with another, related challenge: reducing their carbon footprint, specifically regarding NOx and CO2 emissions. Stabilizing and optimizing the kiln is often key to reducing these inefficiencies, but with so many variables it’s a constant juggling act.
