De hele politieke en budgettaire shitshow die ermee gepaard ging is uiteraard diep tragisch, maar dat nieuw station in Bergen door Santiago Calatrava is los daarvan echt een episch bouwwerk.

#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.

Watertight CBAM fundamental for cement industry

#Cement is in your home, roads and energy. But without a watertight #CBAM, fraud on cement blends could cost the EU €3–6m per ship and weaken climate goals. Watertight and fair CBAM = resilient infrastructure for daily life. cembureau.eu/media/ujyfk55g…

Beautiful building in the Netherlands, impossible to make without cement and concrete.

Every home tells a story. 🏡 #Cement = strong, affordable, durable. It’s the backbone of the houses where Europe lives, grows and thrives.
