Better late than never but last month I had the incredible opportunity to present my work at the biggest cements conference in the world, it was such an amazing experience and the two weeks travelling around Thailand after weren’t too bad either!#ICCC2023

Always a pleasure to chat with you @EdConwaySky about cement, materials, and sustainability. Excited to read your new book too - my colleague @pvcryan was raving about it the other day!
Quite possibly. One semi-related glimmer of hope is that you can make low carbon cement from old blast furnace slag. As @BrantWalkley will tell you.
