      <image:title>Conferences - Slag &amp; AshTrade EMEA  2025 - Thomas Reiche, Managing Director of the FEhS Institute</image:title>
      <image:caption>I encountered the topic of sustainability as a child in my parents' forestry home. As a qualified forester and businessperson, I am concerned with the harmony of economy and ecology, because that is the only way to achieve sustainable success! I am particularly concerned with how we can permanently meet the needs of a rapidly growing global population. This certainly includes a sustainable, strong economy with healthy industrial value chains. And for this, Europe requires a competitive business location! There is a clear need for action here, which we must address with a clear and focused concept. I am happy to contribute to this, for example, as Managing Director of the FEhS – Institute for Building Materials Research in Duisburg. Together we are working to ensure that, even in a transformed industrial society, the byproducts of the steel industry can be used in building materials and fertilizers in a climate- and resource-friendly way – as has been the case for decades.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Conferences - Slag &amp; AshTrade EMEA  2025 - Eric Cinar, Head of the Quality, analysis Laboratory and R&amp;amp;D department</image:title>
      <image:caption>PhD in Engineering Sciences, I am specialised in Instrumentation and Advanced Analysis. After working at the university for 3 years as a teacher &amp; researcher, I worked at CTP R &amp; D Center for more than 15 years as project manager and as physicochemical analysis specialist at the same time.  I managed projects in which we treated, recycled and recovered/revalorized waste, industrial by-products or contaminated solids.  I also led industrial projects in which we developed new materials with particular properties from raw materials. For example I worked a lot on cementitious materials (special cements and mortars, cement additives, etc.). At the same time, I performed physicochemical analysis and characterizations for complex cases. Indeed, solving complex problems is my job especially for XRD, XRF, TGA / DSC, SEM-EDX, LIBS and FT-IR analyses.  I also know very well wet chemistry analyzes such as ICP, chromatography, atomic absorption, UV-visible, etc. So I am able to carry out a complete physico-chemical characterization of solid secondary raw materials (wastes, industrial by-products, contaminated soils, sludges, etc.) and I can suggest you potential solutions for valorization of these materials. Currently I am Head of the Quality, analysis Laboratory and R&amp;D department.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Conferences - CW EMENA Cement &amp;amp; Solid Fuel Summit 2022 - Koen Coppenholle, Chief Executive, CEMBUREAU</image:title>
      <image:caption>A passion for European law and international politics has driven Mr. Coppenholle’s career, starting with a strong focus on EU institutional law as a research and teaching assistant at the “Katholieke Universiteit Leuven”. His year abroad for a Master of Laws at Harvard Law School allowed him to study US federalism as a possible blueprint for the further development of the European Union. The three year stint at the European Court of Justice in the cabinet of Judge P.J.G. Kapteyn allowed Mr. Coppenholle to deal with a wide array of cases in all areas of EU law, a perfect preparation for his career as an attorney with Linklaters De Bandt where the focus was also on EU competition law and state aid. As from 2000, he entered the area of government relations where he gained experience on “EU law in the making”, first with General Electric and then for ArcelorMittal. As an energy-intensive industry, the steel industry’s challenges and opportunities are similar to those of the cement industry. So, CEMBUREAU was an obvious next step which allowed Mr. Coppenholle to add management skills to his legal and policy expertise.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Gerard Hol is since his graduation from the TU Delft Material Science and Engineering very interested in the possibilities of concrete in different applications. Because of the impact of using cement as a binder the possibility of using a binder such as fly ash as a cement replacement in concrete is one of the many material research topics he is involved in. He started his own company in 2015 after 15 years working as a materials specialist in engineering firms.</image:caption>

Her research focus on the study of the behaviour of compacted materials in the context of transport infrastructure applications (e.g. roads, rail, ports and airports). In particular, she has been an investigator in several research projects where the use of granular waste materials such as steel slag, coalwash, rubber, fly ash have been explored as alternative synthetic fill materials. Her research achievements have been recognized by several awards, including the Australian Geomechanics NSW Research Award and more recently University of Wollongong Women of Impact, IACMAG John Carter Award for young professionals and Churchill Fellowship.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Studied geology and mineralogy at the Universität Stuttgart (Germany). He has a diploma in mineralogy and received his doctoral degree from the faculty of chemistry. The focus of his diploma thesis was the mineralogical analysis of fly ash obtained from the combustion of brown coal via the oxy-fuel process. The characterization of environmentally neutral, natural iron-containing oxygen carriers for chemical looping combustion (CLC) power plants is the topic of his present work. Both the oxy-fuel process and chemical looping combustion as carbon capture and storage processes provide solutions to mitigate climate change caused by carbon dioxide.</image:caption>
