As global infrastructure development accelerates, the need to decarbonise cement and concrete—the backbone of the built environment—has never been more urgent. Cement production contributes over 7% of global CO₂ emissions, making innovation in low-carbon materials, alternative binders, and carbon capture technologies essential to meeting climate targets and delivering sustainable, resilient infrastructure worldwide.
In this context, the UK government has recently set out ambitious plans to invest £725 billion over the next 10 years in renewing and upgrading the country’s infrastructure, including schools, hospitals, roads, and housing. This substantial commitment creates a critical opportunity to integrate green construction materials and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon built environment.
The Green Cement & Concrete Innovation Europe 2026 is the leading international platform uniting industry pioneers, material scientists, infrastructure developers, policymakers, and technology providers to drive the future of sustainable construction. Held at the Delta Hotels Heathrow Windsor – Marriott, this high-level event will explore breakthroughs in green cement formulations, circular construction practices, supply chain decarbonisation, regulatory developments, and scalable low-carbon deployment strategies.
Join over 200 global stakeholders as we shape the next generation of construction materials and align cement and concrete innovation with climate commitments, urban growth, and infrastructure resilience.
