In November 2025, NEU released a new publication, The Low-Carbon Concrete Guide: Materials. The guide examines concrete’s role in global carbon emissions, life-cycle thinking and carbon quantification tools, as well as a full spectrum of binder-level strategies, including SCMs, mineral fillers, blended cements, low-carbon portland cements, and alternative cements. It also introduces aggregate, reinforcement, and water-level pathways, along with supporting concepts such as mix

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a mission critical technology in the roadmap to decarbonize the cement and concrete industries. In June 2025, Heidelberg Materials launched the first industrial scale CCS project at the cement manufacturing facility in Brevik, Norway. This breakthrough technology is up and running now allowing Heidelberg Materials to offer evoZero Carbon Captured Brevik, a high-quality carbon captured cement enabling net-zero concrete. Once the CCS system a
