thyssenkrupp Polysius has played a pioneering role in the cement industry for many years. With innovative solutions in both environmental and technological fields, you have drawn significant attention. Firstly, how would you define thyssenkrupp Polysius’ general vision for the industry and its strategic goals for the future?
At thyssenkrupp Polysius, we have a clear vision: we aim to transform the cement industry from “grey” 2 “green” and shape the future of this sector sustainably as a reliable partner to our customers. We stand side by side with cement producers worldwide – not just as a supplier, but as a longterm enabler of innovation. Our strategic goals focus on achieving maximum efficiency, productivity, and quality in cement production – all while drastically reducing CO₂ emissions.
In practice, this means focusing on decarbonization, digitalization, and new technologies in equal measure. A key element of our vision is the green polysius® cement plant – a fully integrated plant solution that enables customers to align with even the strictest environmental regulations while significantly lowering their CO₂ footprint without compromising profitability. Innovative concepts like these give our customers a clear competitive edge. Future cement plants with low emission profiles will not only benefit the environment but also prove more resilient to tightening regulations and costs such as CO₂ pricing. At the same time, we are advancing digitalization as a strategic priority. We leverage big data and artificial intelligence to optimize operations and continuously improve efficiency.
Our guiding principle is to always keep the success of our customers in mind. Every innovation we develop must deliver tangible value – whether through lower production costs, higher product quality, or a reduced environmental footprint. In summary, our mission is to harmonize climate protection, efficiency, and innovation leadership. In line with the thyssenkrupp Polysius group-wide climate strategy, we have set clear milestones, such as achieving a 16% reduction in the use-phase emissions of our technologies by 2030. These ambitious goals drive us to develop the solutions for tomorrow’s cement plant – today – so our customers are optimally prepared for the decades ahead.
How do you assess the environmental challenges currently faced by the global cement industry? What do you think distinguishes Thyssenkrupp’s role in addressing these challenges?
The cement industry faces major environmental challenges worldwide. It is important to remember: after water, cement is the second most widely used material on Earth – which means the sector accounts for roughly 7-8% of man-made CO₂ emissions. These emissions stem partly from the combustion of fossil fuels and – to around 60% – from process-related CO₂ releases during limestone calcination. Add to that high energy consumption, as well as by-products and emissions like NOx and fine dust.
We see the urgency for fundamental change very clearly – without transformation, the cement industry will not meet its climate targets. At the same time, we understand that solutions can only succeed if they are economically viable – it’s always a balance between ecology and economy.
We started early, optimizing every lever to reduce emissions – from alternative fuels and new binders to carbon capture technologies. While many competitors are only now starting to respond to increasing pressure, we are already in the market with practical solutions – driven by a holistic approach aimed at fundamentally transforming the cement industry.
One example is our consistent promotion of alternative fuels. We offer technologies that allow cement plants to replace up to 100% of traditional fossil fuels with waste, biomass, and other alternative energy sources. This transformation significantly cutting CO₂ emissions while giving waste materials a valuable second use.
We have also worked intensively to reduce the clinker factor, in order to cut process-related CO2 emissions per ton of cement. A key differentiator: thyssenkrupp Polysius was the first company to scale up the concept of mechano-chemical activation for industrial use – known to us as polysius® meca-clay. This process mechanically transforms clay minerals into a reactive binder, eliminating the need for energy-intensive calcination. For the first time in cement history, a hydraulically active binder can be produced in a purely mechanical, non-thermal process. This is a real breakthrough: part of the clinker can now be replaced with mechanically activated clay – without generating CO₂ from fuel combustion or limestone decarbonation.
In parallel, we have heavily invested in carbon capture technologies. Our polysius® pure oxyfuel solution is considered one of the most efficient CO₂ capture technologies in the cement industry. It achieves over 90% CO₂ concentration in flue gas, enabling near-complete capture of emissions. Crucially, we always link environmental solutions to economic benefits – continually optimizing the Oxyfuel process to reduce operating and energy costs compared to traditional methods.
Ultimately, our work is driven by a genuine pioneering spirit. Technologies like polysius® pure oxyfuel and meca-clay were patented and developed to market maturity early on, so we could offer the industry practical solutions today. And we ensure all innovations are fit for real-world use: many are modular and can be integrated into existing plants. While others hesitate, we act – delivering turnkey answers to the industry’s most pressing environmental problems.
thyssenkrupp Polysius plays a leading role in optimizing cement production processes and developing sustainable solutions. How would you describe your strongest capabilities in this area? What innovations are being introduced to solidify your leading position?
Our core competence lies in our holistic understanding of cement production and our vast wealth of experience. For over 150 years, we have been designing and building cement plants—this end-to- end process expertise across all production steps is truly unique. We understand cement manufacturing in all its facets: from raw material extraction to clinker production, grinding, and quality control. We combine this deep knowledge with state-of-the-art process optimization and automation techniques. A key strength is our ability to integrate and finely tune complex systems to achieve maximum efficiency and availability. With our global network and experienced specialists, we successfully implement projects in any environment. In short: Polysius stands for deep process knowledge, German engineering excellence, and global execution capability.
To further strengthen our leadership position, we continuously invest in innovation. Some of our latest products and solutions introduced to maintain our competitive edge include:
polysius® pure oxyfuel is a carbon capture process that uses pure oxygen instead of air in the cement kiln. This results in exhaust gas that consists almost entirely of CO₂, more than 90% of which can be captured. This patented process offers the best overall cost profile compared to other CO₂ capture technologies—a decisive advantage for our customers. With polysius® pure oxyfuel, we are paving the way to the climate-neutral cement plant and giving our clients a head start in decarbonization. Our ongoing projects:
polysius® activated clay is a technology for producing calcined clay as a cement additive, significantly reducing the clinker content in cement. Using thermally activated clay can replace up to 50% of clinker, cutting CO₂ emissions by up to 40%. At the same time, energy costs are lowered, and cement quality can even be improved. The first large-scale plant using polysius® activated clay is already in operation in Cameroon, saving around 120,000 tons of CO₂ per year with 720 t/d of activated clay with Cimpor Global Holdings. This project highlights our innovative strength—bringing solutions that combine ecological and economic benefits into real-world application. Another kopolysius ® activated clay plant with Cimpor Global Holdings is to be built with 1,280 t/d in Ghana.
Green polysius® Cement Plant is not a single product, but a fully integrated plant concept. The Green polysius® Cement Plant brings together all our sustainable technologies into a comprehensive solution—from high-efficiency heat exchangers and energy recovery to renewable energy use and the technologies mentioned before. A Green polysius® Cement Plant is designed to emit significantly less CO₂ and other greenhouse gases than conventional plants. Equally important: our green plant concept is not only environmentally sound but also economically viable. Our vision is for customers to meet the strictest environmental regulations while producing cement cost-effectively. This concept also includes advanced filtration and catalytic systems to reduce local emissions (dust, NOx, SO2) well below legal limits.
Digitalization plays a key role in our innovations. With polysius® connect, we have developed a remote service platform that allows our experts to access cement plants remotely and support operations and maintenance in real time. Using secure internet connections, we create a digital twin of the plant at our control center in Beckum, Germany, enabling us to monitor operations 24/7. In case of disruptions, our engineers intervene immediately, analyze the issue, and assist the local team in resolving it— sometimes within minutes, without needing to be on-site. This digital offering increases plant availability, reduces downtime, and continuously optimizes production. polysius® connect is our answer to Industry 4.0 in the cement sector, offering our clients greater flexibility and efficiency.
We see artificial intelligence as a key driver for taking cement production to the next level. We integrate AI models into our control systems that learn from process data and independently suggest or implement optimal settings. For example, we can already predict the quality of clinker and cement before the material even leaves the kiln. Our algorithm continuously analyzes process parameters and lab data to determine the best operating conditions—technically, qualitatively, and economically. This helps operators make better decisions: AI may suggest adjusting burner output or mill parameters to save energy or improve quality. These AI-supported optimization systems will significantly raise cement quality standards while reducing costs.
We also use AI in predictive maintenance: through pattern recognition, our systems can detect anomalies in equipment early and plan maintenance as needed—before failures occur. These AI-based solutions are already implemented in initial plants and are learning every day—making the cement plant smarter and freeing up on-site engineers to focus on strategic tasks.
With this wide range of innovations—from process engineering and plant concepts to digital tools—we continue to reinforce our leadership. What is important: we develop all these innovations hand in hand with our customers. Our commitment is to deliver practical solutions that generate measurable improvements— and cement our reputation as a technology leader in the cement industry.
As environmental regulations become stricter, how is thyssenkrupp Polysius shaping its strategies for developing eco-friendly solutions? Specifically, what innovative approaches are being worked on regarding carbon emissions and waste management?
We see stricter environmental regulations not as a threat, but as a driver of innovation. In fact, we anticipate many future regulations in our development projects, enabling us to offer customers solutions that already meet or exceed upcoming standards. A central issue, of course, is CO₂ emissions. Here, we respond with a dual strategy: avoid emissions where possible and capture unavoidable emissions.
To avoid emissions, we rely on the levers already mentioned— particularly the reduction of clinker content. Our technologies already allow the production of cement with significantly less clinker (e.g., through the use of clay additives), which directly reduces process-related CO₂ emissions. Mechano-chemically activated clay additives (meca-clay) in particular hold tremendous potential: cement produced using this method can emit around 350 kg of CO₂ per ton compared to ~580 kg for conventional cement—about 40% less. This allows our customers to significantly improve their CO₂ footprint without abandoning proven production methods.
Another key aspect of stricter environmental regulations is waste management. Cement plants can play a crucial role in solving global waste issues by using suitable waste materials as fuel or raw materials (known as co-processing). At Polysius, we offer highly innovative solutions for this. Our polysius® fuel substitution technology—which includes the polflame® burner and prepol® SC step combustor—enables cement kilns to operate with up to 100% alternative fuels.
What’s more, even challenging waste types like moist sewage sludge, household waste, or textile residues—which are barely usable in conventional processes—can be efficiently combusted using our prepol® SC system. This staged burner ensures extremely long residence times of over 1,000 seconds (compared to ~5–7 seconds in standard calciners) at high temperatures, ensuring complete combustion of even large or wet waste materials. This meets the strictest requirements for combustion quality and minimizes emissions from unburned organic residues. CO₂, NOx, and CO emissions can also be reduced—100% alternative fuel use can cut process-related CO₂ emissions by up to 14% by replacing fossil carbon.
Additionally, the ash from waste combustion can be used as a secondary raw material in the cement production process, creating a nearly closed loop: waste-derived energy powers the process, and residues are incorporated into the final product. This is waste management at its best—helping our customers comply with landfill regulations while saving on primary fuel and raw material costs.
Of course, we also respond to stricter limits on conventional emissions (dust, NOx, SO2). Our plants come standard with the latest filtration systems (electrostatic and fabric filters) and DeNOx systems (SNCR, SCR) that remain well below legal thresholds. For new projects, we plan proactively, building in reserves for potential future tightening of regulations. This means our customers are future-proof with Polysius systems. For example, in regions where there are currently no CO₂ requirements, we already include interfaces for retrofitting CO₂ capture, ensuring rapid response if new rules are introduced.
In summary, we meet stricter environmental regulations with innovation and flexibility. Whether it is CO₂, waste, or other emissions—thyssenkrupp Polysius already offers solutions today that meet the regulatory limits of tomorrow. This empowers our customers to achieve their sustainability goals while proactively addressing the expectations of legislators and society.
How do digitalization and big data analytics play a role in optimizing cement production processes? What solutions have you developed in this field?
Digitalization and big data analytics are no longer just add-ons to traditional systems — they are the foundation of modern, efficient, and sustainable cement production.
At thyssenkrupp Polysius, we have systematically integrated these technologies across the entire value chain — from raw material processing and process control to maintenance and quality assurance.
A modern cement plant generates massive volumes of data: temperatures, pressures, throughput rates, quality indicators, and much more — sometimes measured every millisecond. We treat this data as a new kind of raw material. By applying intelligent analytics, we extract actionable insights and deliver real value to our customers.
Polysius® meca-clay mechanically transforms clay minerals into a reactive binder, eliminating the need for energy-intensive calcination. For the first time in cement history, a hydraulically active binder can be produced in a purely mechanical, non-thermal process.
Our advanced process control system polcid® connects every plant unit into a unified digital control environment. Within this system, digital twins — virtual replicas of the physical process — simulate and forecast performance in real time. Operators can test “what-if” scenarios — for example, evaluating how alternative fuels or different raw meal compositions would affect kiln operation — without disrupting the real process. Decisions are no longer guesswork but based on accurate, predictive models. Intuitive dashboards warn operators in advance, like “In two hours, clinker quality will fall below threshold X unless adjustments are made.” This foresight enables timely corrections, greater process stability, and reduced waste.
We use a wide network of sensors and secure cloud architectures to continuously monitor equipment health — from mill bearings to kiln shells. Our analytics algorithms detect early signs of wear or anomalies. For instance, rising vibration patterns and increased power consumption may indicate worn grinding elements — allowing replacement to be scheduled before a costly breakdown occurs. This approach minimizes unplanned downtime and lowers maintenance costs.
Our polab® automated laboratory systems take and analyze samples (e.g., using XRF, XRD, calorimetry) and feed the results directly back into the process control system. This creates a closed feedback loop that ensures tighter control of raw meal and clinker quality — leading to more stable kiln operation and consistent product quality. In summary, big data is the fuel of the smart cement plant . And at Polysius, we see ourselves as the navigator. We help our customers not just collect data, but intelligently connect it and transform it into clear, actionable recommendations. The results speak for themselves: lower energy consumption, greater operational efficiency, stable quality, and a new culture of predictive control. For us, digitalization is more than just technology — it is a cultural shift we are driving together with our partners in the industry.

How do you evaluate the impact of artificial intelligence on decision-making processes in cement production? How are these technologies integrated into thyssenkrupp Polysius’ decision support systems?
Artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping decisionmaking in cement production. It enables a shift from reactive to predictive operations and helps uncover optimization strategies that go far beyond what human intuition alone could achieve. At thyssenkrupp Polysius, AI is no longer a vision of the future; it is already embedded in our control systems, service platforms, and laboratory solutions, supporting operators every day with foresight, precision, and learning capabilities.
Traditional control systems rely on rule-based automation, following an “if-this-then-that” approach. But cement production is a highly complex, nonlinear process influenced by hundreds of dynamic factors, such as raw material variability, alternative fuels, and ambient conditions. AI enables us to replace static assumptions with adaptive learning systems that continuously improve. Our models are trained on historical plant data and evolve over time through machine learning — creating robust and flexible decision engines.
AI allows the plant to “think ahead.” By continuously analyzing live data — such as kiln temperatures, raw meal composition, and flame characteristics — our systems can forecast how the process will behave in the next 30 to 60 minutes. For instance, the AI might alert the operator like “If current conditions persist, free lime in clinker will exceed specification in 30 minutes.”
With this insight, operators can intervene proactively — adjusting burner temperature or air ratios before quality deviations occur. This fundamentally shifts decision-making from reactive troubleshooting to proactive process stabilization.
Cement production often requires balancing conflicting targets such as maximizing throughput, minimizing energy use, and maintaining product quality. AI algorithms — such as reinforcement learning and optimization heuristics — evaluate millions of operating scenarios in real time to find the optimal balance. A typical recommendation might be “Reduce kiln speed by 2.5% to lower energy consumption by 4%, with only a 1% drop in output — improving today’s production cost efficiency.” Such guidance turns gut-feeling decisions into data-driven strategies backed by economic and technical modeling.
In our polysius® connect platform, AI-driven anomaly detection scans sensor streams from plants worldwide to identify early signs of mechanical or process issues. These algorithms detect subtle patterns — such as motor current changes indicating filter clogging or bearing stress.
Our service teams receive these alerts and can advise customers proactively: “This vibration pattern typically precedes bearing failure — plan a replacement within two weeks.” This early intervention helps avoid unplanned downtime and improves reliability. Looking ahead, AI will increasingly become the operational “brain” of the cement plant. While human oversight remains essential, many routine control tasks can already be handled autonomously — within safety and process constraints. Every production cycle teaches the AI more, shortening the path toward semi-autonomous or even fully autonomous operations.
As a conclusion, AI does not replace human expertise; it enhances it. At Polysius, we integrate AI to support faster, smarter, and more consistent decisions in one of the most demanding industrial environments. From quality prediction to performance optimization and predictive maintenance, AI helps make cement production more stable, efficient, and sustainable. And the journey has only just begun . With every new data set, our systems become more intelligent, and our plants more capable.
What was the improvement rate in energy efficiency in cement production achieved by thyssenkrupp Polysius in the past year? How does this rate compare to previous years in terms of development?
In the cement industry, improvements in energy efficiency have traditionally been a continuous process of incremental gains— but we’re now observing that new technologies are enabling significantly larger leaps. Last year, we recorded an average energy efficiency improvement of approximately 5% across our customer projects, measured in terms of specific energy consumption per ton of cement. This figure is remarkable, as in previous years, improvements typically ranged between 1–2% annually, sometimes even less, because many plants had already been optimized to a high level. For context: during the 2010s, the industry usually achieved annual efficiency gains in the low single-digit percentage range, often through fine-tuning of existing processes. The ~5% improvement seen last year indicates that we’re entering a new phase, with innovative measures like advanced grinding methods and optimized process control delivering a noticeable step-change.
One of the key factors driving this significant progress is modernization projects, in which outdated plant components have been replaced with highly efficient technologies. For example, retrofitting older plants with modern waste heat recovery systems and more efficient burners has led to immediate energy savings. Heat that was previously lost is now used to preheat raw materials, thereby reducing fuel consumption. The introduction of additional fine grinding stages—such as those used in mechano-chemical activation—has also had a positive impact: by producing more uniform and finer cement particles, certain types of cement now require less grinding effort without sacrificing performance, resulting in lower electrical energy usage in the mill.
Overall, these technologies have led to a noticeable reduction in specific energy consumption over the past year. Compared to previous years, we are now in a phase where efficiency gains are accelerating. Over the past decades, we have steadily reduced specific energy demand (for example, by about 20% overall since 1990) through better plant design and increased use of alternative fuels—but these improvements were gradual. Today, digital optimization systems and new plant concepts are enabling much larger gains within a single year.
Of course, the exact figures vary depending on the plant in question—a brand-new facility already operating at peak efficiency cannot realistically achieve another 5% improvement year after year. But on a global average, especially in modernization projects, last year was exceptionally successful. We expect this trend to continue, albeit with some fluctuations. The key takeaway: every percentage point of efficiency gain represents significant energy and cost savings when producing millions of tons of cement. That is why improving energy efficiency remains a top priority for us and our customers.
Should new technologies—such as electrically heated calciners or additional mechano-chemical processes—become more widely adopted in the coming years, we may be able to push the annual efficiency improvement rate even higher. Until then, achieving a ~5% increase in a single year is an excellent result, and one we are committed to building on.
When evaluating the cement industry in Türkiye, what do you consider to be the biggest opportunities and challenges in terms of sustainability?
The Turkish cement market is of great interest to us—both due to its size and dynamism, and because sustainability is becoming increasingly important in Türkiye as well. Türkiye has one of the largest cement industries in Europe and Western Asia. While many plants in Türkiye are already at a good technological level, there is tremendous potential to introduce further sustainability technologies. Turkish cement manufacturers have the opportunity to join the decarbonization movement early and secure a competitive edge.
It is important to note that sustainability is also becoming a marketing factor: “Green cement” from Türkiye would have a competitive advantage internationally—especially if mechanisms like the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) are implemented. We are already seeing strong interest and openness among our Turkish customers to explore these new paths.
Last year, we recorded an average energy efficiency improvement of approximately 5% across our customer projects, measured in terms of specific energy consumption per ton of cement. This figure is remarkable, as in previous years, improvements typically ranged between 1–2% annually, sometimes even less, because many plants had already been optimized to a high level.
Türkiye also offers substantial potential in the use of alternative fuels. As a country with a growing population and industrial base, large quantities of waste and residual materials are generated— many of which may not yet be fully utilized for energy recovery. Turkish cement plants could increasingly use these waste materials to replace fossil fuels—saving resources and reducing emissions. Our technologies, such as prepol® SC, are ideally suited for this. We already see initial plants in Türkiye using >50% alternative fuels, and this could increase to 70–80%—an internationally leading figure. Turkish cement producers are increasingly willing to invest in such solutions, not least because the cost of imported fossil fuels (e.g., coal, petcoke) is high. Here, sustainability and economic efficiency go hand in hand: using less coal and more locally sourced biomass waste saves both costs and emissions.
Another major opportunity lies in modernizing existing plants. Many Turkish cement plants date back to the 1990s or 2000s. Upgrades—such as more efficient mills, new filters, or waste heat recovery systems—could significantly improve their environmental performance. We have seen in other countries that even moderate investments (e.g., installing a clinker cooler with electricity generation) can have a major impact. Such measures could be widely implemented in Türkiye and often pay for themselves within a few years. Our service and revamp teams are ready to deliver customized solutions here.
Of course, there are also challenges in the Turkish market when it comes to sustainability. One is economic volatility. Larger investments in environmentally friendly technologies require financing and confidence in stable regulatory frameworks. In times of economic uncertainty or high inflation, companies may hesitate to undertake projects with long payback periods. To address this, we offer cost-effective and scalable solutions.
Another challenge is regulatory clarity. While Türkiye is moving toward stricter environmental regulations (such as aligning with some European emission standards), clear long-term goals and incentives are needed to fully steer the industry toward sustainability. If a clear roadmap for CO₂ reduction were in place, investment would accelerate. At Polysius, we engage in close dialogue with our Turkish customers and also share global trends. Often, the drive to become more sustainable arises from the understanding that other countries are moving in this direction— and that eventually, there will be no alternative. We see our role in part as a consultant and knowledge carrier, bringing best practices from around the world to Türkiye.
Education and awareness are also important factors. Sustainability sometimes requires new operational approaches or technical know-how—such as handling alternative fuels or ensuring consistent quality with new binders. Here, we work closely with Turkish professionals, offering training and workshops to ensure smooth implementation of new technologies. Turkish engineers and plant operators are highly competent; once they understand the benefits and acquire the know-how, they implement new processes successfully.
In conclusion, we see the Turkish cement market as highly promising in terms of sustainability. There are several committed companies that are seriously pursuing this path. Türkiye has the potential to become a regional leader in “green cement.” The challenges—economic pressures and still-developing regulations—are real, but they can be overcome. With the right partnerships and step-by-step improvements, the Turkish cement industry can significantly reduce its emissions while maintaining its strong market position.
We at thyssenkrupp Polysius look forward to taking this journey together with our Turkish partners. Our 30 years of globalization experience enable us to deliver solutions tailored to local conditions. In short, Türkiye holds great potential for sustainable cement production, and we are ready to contribute with advanced technology, advisory support, and long-term collaboration.
Finally, could you tell us about your career journey?
My career journey has been deeply rooted in the cement and industrial plant engineering sector, with a strong emphasis on international sales, business development, and strategic customer engagement. From the very beginning of my professional path, I have been drawn to industries that combine technological complexity with global relevance — and the cement sector embodies both.
Over the past several years at ThyssenKrupp Polysius, I have had the opportunity to work extensively with clients, project partners, and stakeholders across key cement markets such as Türkiye, the Middle East, and Europe. These regions present distinct challenges and opportunities, ranging from capacity expansion needs to stricter environmental and regulatory requirements — all of which require tailored, forward-thinking solutions.
In my various roles, I have been responsible for identifying and evaluating new market opportunities, driving customer-specific modernization concepts, and offering end-to-end support from the initial business case to the negotiation and execution of complex plant solutions. Whether working on brownfield upgrades, efficiency-driven retrofits, or the integration of digital tools into existing operations, my goal has always been to provide added value through both technical expertise and strategic partnership.
