In this episode of Cementing Europe’s Future, we speak with Stany Vaes, Director Sustainability & Corporate Affairs at Holcim Belgium, about the GO4ZERO project, a major initiative aiming to produce carbon-neutral cement in Belgium by 2029.

We explore what it takes to turn industrial climate ambition into real-world transformation: from building a new state-of-the-art kiln and deploying carbon capture technologies, to navigating complex EU and national policy frameworks, securing investment, and creating demand for low-carbon products.

The GO4ZERO project reflects both the scale of the challenge and the momentum building in Europe’s cement sector. But to succeed, it will require the right policy signals, long-term support, and cross-sector collaboration.
