Nominations are now open for the Global CemFuels Awards 2025 (to 1 August 2025).

The Global CemFuels Conference and Exhibition has established itself as the largest specialised annual alternative fuels conference and exhibition in the world, attracting more than 200 international delegates and many exhibitors each year.

The 18th Global CemFuels event in 2025 will showcase the best alternative fuels projects and equipment from the cement industry from around the world. Fuel mix optimisation and combustion and pyro-process optimisation will be examined in depth. Delegates are expected to attend from more than 40 countries, to learn from experts how to start to use - or to increase their use of - alternative fuels. Increasing numbers of AF suppliers, traders and buyers have been attending, making CemFuels a great place to come and do business to secure your AF supply. If your business is in alternative fuels for the cement and lime industry, then you must attend!

The registration fee includes attendance at the conference and exhibition, conference proceedings book including delegate names/company/country, and download of all available presentations in pdf format, participation in networking/speed-dating sessions, delegate name badge, special distribution magazine, coffee breaks and snacks, lunches, welcome reception and farewell reception.
