From June 9 to 12, Cemtech Asia 2025 was held in Seoul and Danyang, hosted by CemNet, a UK-based global authority on the cement industry. This marked the first time the international cement conference was held in Korea.

Centered on the theme “Decarbonization of the Cement Industry,” the event brought together over 300 global cement experts, who presented 25 research papers over the course of the conference.

On the final day, June 12, around 40 participants—including CemNet Chairman Thomas Armstrong—visited Hanil Cement’s Danyang Plant. The visit began at 10 a.m. with a briefing on the plant’s current operations. Attendees received an overview of Hanil’s eco-friendly facilities and management plans, followed by a Q&A session.

Participants also toured the Hanil history museum, H-STORY, where they learned about the company’s history and vision. The plant tour included key facilities such as the kiln and ECO power generation system. Particular interest was shown in the newly completed alternative fuel storage facility, which was highlighted as a leading example of sustainable infrastructure.
