@alexanderdecroo @PaulMagnette @MeyremAlmaci @GeorgesGilkinet @conner_rousseau @GLBouchez @egbertlachaert @joachimcoens Proficiat en goede vaart! Waardering voor uw boodschap van verbondenheid en respect. En aan de oppositie: vervul uw rol maar met respect en inhoud. Het algemeen belang moet bij jullie allen voorop staan.

[Koen Coppenholle @KoenCoppenholle]

@STIBMIVB Ja, dus idem vanavond... Aangekondigde staking? Vanmorgen? Ach, ik ben ok, heb wat afgewandeld vandaag maar die keuze hadden vader met baby, moeder met kinderwagen of oudere dame niet. Klantgerichtheid: worth considering?

[Koen Coppenholle @KoenCoppenholle]

@STIBMIVB Echt MIVB? Hoge COVID 19 cijfers in Brussel en jullie zetten de mensen zo dicht mogelijk op elkaar door minder treinen?? Welk belang heeft hier voorrang?

[EU Ceramics @CerameUnie]

Many thanks to @EBC_SMEs @FIEC_Brussels @ConstructionEU and @CECE_Europe for gathering so many actors of the construction value chain willing to engage into a new #Construction2050 Alliance. A major role can be played by the #construction sector under the #EuropeanGreenDeal!

@fireondemand1 @bart_vergauwe En ik? Grote onderscheiding. Als assistent leerde ik Bart kennen als intelligente en sociaal geengageerde bruggenbouwer, toen al. Vincent, wat een zielige tweet!!

@Cladupont @davitter @ugent @CEUSGhent @govtran It was a real pleasure, I much appreciated the open exchange with Ed and the students.

"It is evident that concrete plays a pivotal role as a key enabler for the European #GreenDeal." @KoenCoppenholle "Through thermal mass, recyclability and recarbonation, concrete delivers a decisive contribution to reducing CO2 emissions from buildings." #AvondlezingEU

[Koen Coppenholle @KoenCoppenholle]

@keytsman_ Good point! Happy to improve but I made the one single point: decarbonisation will increase electricity demand, the rest is illustration/ background.

@SykesChris @lalibrebe @FlyingBrussels Contexte ici est social (employeur- employe). Siege d'exploitation en Flandre: neerlandais, en Wallonie, francais, a Bruxelles, l' un des deux selon langue de l'employe. Sanction: nullite. Relation avec les clients en plusieurs langues, bien evidemment!!

Why choose concrete?

Reason #2: Lowest carbon footprint for buildings over their entire lifecycle. Follow along each week as we stack up the reasons!#concretereasons #carbonfootprint #lifecycleanalysis #concretebuildings #buildwithstrength #buildforlife #builttolast

[Koen Coppenholle @KoenCoppenholle]

EU Competitiveness Council Conclusions 27 May underline importance of low carbon industries key strategic value chain, HorizonEurope and industrial transformation masterplan for energy intensive industries. CEMBUREAU enthusiastically contributes to all of these initiatives.

[Koen Coppenholle @KoenCoppenholle]

Thank you for a rich discussion on the need for a sustainable cement industry (environment, economic, social). Decarbonisation will also increase demand for affordable renewable energy - compensation for indirect costs for cement sector is essential for its competitiveness.

Echange stimulant avec @KoenCoppenholle, directeur général de @CEMBUREAU, sur les défis et les opportunités ouverts par la #TransitionEnergétique pour les industries du #ciment

[Koen Coppenholle @KoenCoppenholle]

Proud to present the work of the High Level Group of Energy Intensive Industries at the EU Refining Forum today. We need a competitive industry in the EU to innovate, grow, create value and jobs.

[Koen Coppenholle @KoenCoppenholle]

@theGCCA @ClaudeLorea Great Initiative! Happy International Women's Day!

[Koen Coppenholle @KoenCoppenholle]

@SeRaMCoNWE Looks very interesting!! Looking forward to talk and engage!

[Koen Coppenholle @KoenCoppenholle]

Disappointing start #GuardianConcreteWeek with unbalanced coverage of the sector. Looking forward to positive untold stories #madewithcement, #energyefficient housing, 100% recyclability, concrete as carbon sink and key enabler for #lowcarbontransition (waterdams, windmills).

CEMBUREAU’s response to The Guardian’s ‘Concrete Week’ https://t.co/nVEZDnKX6z

[Koen Coppenholle @KoenCoppenholle]

The cement industry welcomes this approach and is ready to promote a sustainable business model in Europe (economic, social, environmental) in the HLG for energy-intensive indusries as in the #industry4Europe initiative

[Koen Coppenholle @KoenCoppenholle]

Strategic Forum selected low carbon industrial processes and carbon capture and valorisation technologies as one of six key value chains for Europe. CEMBUREAU ready to engage with steel, chemicals, Member States and the Commission.

[Koen Coppenholle @KoenCoppenholle]

70,000 people insisting on action against climate change in Brussels today. Strong signal: yes, we all need to act. Can we also debate access to finance for transforming our houses and industry assets, innovation support, affordable electricity and new skills for our workforce?
