Includes highlights from the 2020 update of the World Cement Carrier Services and Market Forecast Report.
In order to gauge regional and global opportunities, end-users, builders and convertors of cement carriers need to understand the existing and future supply-demand balance of the segment.
The webinar will cover cement carrier services, highlighting:
- Cement carriers trade flows, pricing and volumes;
- Analysis of the competitiveness of the cement and clinker trade;
- Carriers trade by type of cementitious product and region;
- Current and future market share structure and market size of the industry.
CW Group’s World Cement Carrier Services and Market Forecast Report provides an in-depth forecast analysis with a five-year retrospective and outlookof the specialized cement carrier market demand by type and market size in USD. The report is meant to serve end users, builders and convertors of cement carriers who need to understand the existing and future supply-demand balance of the segment. Scrapping rates, new builds, conversions, freight, demand and key trends and drivers for major regions and markets worldwide are fully presented and comprehensively explained. The information is provided in a data-rich format that combines qualitative insights with extensive facts and data series to allow readers to make critical business decisions.

In this presentation FCT will discuss about the process, the challenges and the different technologies to produce a high-quality calcined clay. As the choice of technology depends on the characteristics of the feedstock, FCT will present additional case studies as examples where the most suitable machinery (type of calciner, dryer, raw mill, cooler, color control) was selected according to these characteristics.
Cement is one of the world’s most vital industries and is the foundation of infrastructure and urban development. However, the industry is also responsible for more than 5% of the world’s manmade CO2 emissions. A transformational change is now underway, with the industry looking to reduce its carbon footprint in the interest of sustainability.
The use of supplementary cementitious material in Green Cement – including calcined clay - can reduce carbon emissions by up to 40% as there is virtually no release of CO2 from the clay.
Additionally, there are fuel and electrical consumption reduction when compared to clinker production process, making the clay calcination process interesting under the financial point of view as well.

A detailed analysis of the developments in the ground granulated blast-furnace slag market.
The webinar will provide participants with the opportunity to hear CW Research team's insights on key drivers and constraints for the slag industry, including:
- Main products
- Slag market overview, GGBFS focused
- Regional trends
- On-going impact of Covid-19 discussion
CW Group's Global Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag Market & Forecast report serves the interests of slag manufacturers, as well as that of cement and concrete, ground additive materials and asphalt industries. The study provides an in-depth analysis of the global blast-furnace slag market and presents the latest data on the market size (volume and value) sourced through both primary and secondary research. Historic and five year forecasted data showcased include figures on consumption, domestic production, export and imports, price dynamics, as well as qualitative information on trends in the industry. Product segments included cover ground blast-furnace slag (GBFS), ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) and steel slags. The report covers key drivers and constraints for individual slag markets and end-users from the construction sector. The market intelligence provided in the report is divided into regional demand, as well as by end user, providing a strategic perspective on the evolution and outlook for the industry.

The concern about CO2 emission levels from industrial processes is growing around the world. Cement as the most consumed building product in the world, represents a significant contribution to the man-made CO2 emissions. It is estimated that cement related emissions need to fall by at least 16% by 2030, and far more than that if the nations are to meet the Paris Climate Accord target below 2 degrees Celsius of warming this century.
Reaching those limits will require the widespread adoption of less carbon intensive cement alternatives, and clinker substitution is by far the most effective. The wide availability of clay, with relatively well spread and considerably available deposits in most places around, constitute the most suitable alternative of SCM for coping with the projected worldwide demand for cement.
In the first two presentations of this series of seminars, FCT will discuss the clay activation process, the heat treatment to promote the dihydroxylation of the material, resulting in the collapse and breakdown of the clay structure to form compounds with hydraulic binding characteristics. In the first presentation, FCT will present its FlashCalx Flash Calciner Technology; and continuing in January, FCT will present the RotaCalx Rotary Kiln alternative for clay calcination.
