VDZ’s new appointments

To meet the growing tasks of CO₂ separation and digital process support, a new climate-neutral process technology department has been established at the German cement association, VDZ. Kristina Fleeter, a long-standing expert in CCUS technologies and process simulation will lead the new department.

In his function as Managing Director of VDZ Technology GmbH, Volker Hoenig will continue to have overall responsibility. In terms of content, he will place a strong focus on the issue of CO₂ emissions and the associated transformation to a climate-neutral cement and concrete value chain.

At the beginning of the year, Stefan Schäfer, the former deputy head of department, took over the management of the VDZ's environment and industrial engineering department. The department will continue to deal with thermal and mechanical process technology as well as environmental protection and continuing education.
