  • CBAM implementation and its real impact on industrial competitiveness.
  • Low-carbon cement evolution and alternative raw materials.
  • Public procurement as a driver of sustainable demand.
  • Industrial efficiency, CAUC technologies and CCUS integrati

• Global SCM trade, cement–steel–energy interaction and market outlooks
