Cement industry in Austria: pioneer in environmental protection and climate protection!

The focus is currently on the challenges and possibilities in the Austrian cement and concrete industry, as the latest survey by Beton Dialog Austria illustrates Austria. According to the results published in February 2025, nine out of ten cement and concrete manufacturers see environmental protection as the top priority. The industry has taken concrete measures to significantly reduce CO2 emissions in production, said Anton Glasmaier, CEO of Beton Dialog Austria. Particular attention is paid to the development of new, low-CO2 cements and innovative concrete recipes that make it possible to build more environmentally friendly and at the same time protect resources.

In addition, it was pointed out that the use of concrete beyond sustainability also offers area -economic advantages. Christoph Ressler, another member of the board, emphasizes the importance of multi -storey buildings with thermal component activation and renewable energies. These construction methods not only allow fossil -free heating and cooling, they also contribute to reducing area consumption in Austria. But despite all progress, the tense economic situation in the construction industry causes concern. In 2023, the number of approved apartments fell by 27 percent compared to the previous year, which caused many companies to require an improvement in market conditions for 2025.

The Austrian concrete price 2023

For the promotion of sustainable construction projects, Beton Dialog Austria has launched the Austrian concrete price. This price characterizes outstanding projects that meet the criteria of sustainability, functionality and innovation. Concrete is highlighted as a central building material for climate -neutral construction. Friedrich Eppel, who is commissioned to organize the price, explains that the focus is particularly on minimizing energy and resource consumption as well as the ecological effects in the construction industry. The aim is to bring the relevance of cement and concrete closer to the public in the transformation of the construction industry, which is more urgent than ever given the growing challenges in the industry.

These developments underline the critical change that the construction industry is subjected to, as described in the reports. The combination of resource management and innovative approaches is crucial for making the construction industry future -proof. To accept providers to optimize their processes remains one of the central challenges for the industry.

This is how the APA-OTS reports on the survey in the cement industry. Likewise Sustainable building addresses what points out how Beton Dialogue Austria helps shape the future of building. Further details can also be found in the report of concrete dialog Austria.
