About Green Cementech

The Indian Cement Industry is the world's second-largest producer, contributing over 8% to global installed capacity with around 250 large plants and a capacity exceeding 690 MTPA. Driven by infrastructure growth and real estate demand, the industry is projected to expand positively. However, this growth necessitates innovative strategies for optimal resource use, emission reduction, and adherence to discharge standards. Recognized for its energy and resource efficiency, the industry has embraced alternative fuels and waste heat recovery (WHR) to lower emissions and production costs, promoting both competitiveness and ecological sustainability. To support the sector's transition towards a Net Zero Carbon future, the CII - Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre has been hosting the Green Cementech annual conference for 20 years, fostering engagement among stakeholders. The 21st edition of this conference, organized in collaboration with the Cement Manufacturers' Association (CMA), is scheduled for May 15-16, 2025, in Hyderabad, focusing on the theme "Road towards Net Zero Carbon."
