The KYDD 2025 (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Workshop), held on May 12–13, 2025, and hosted by Yeditepe University, provided an interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience on carbon capture, storage, and utilization technologies, which play a critical role in the fight against global climate change. Academics, researchers, and industry representatives working on decarbonization technologies came together at the event to share insights.

The workshop team, aiming to make a national impact by addressing concepts such as sustainability, circular economy, green financing, and twin transition in an integrated manner, emphasized their commitment to continuing their work to contribute to a carbon-neutral future.

At the workshop, TÜRKÇİMENTO R&D Manager Serkan Türk delivered a presentation on what needs to be done for the decarbonization of the cement sector, covering topics such as energy and thermal efficiency, clinker reduction, new technologies, the use of renewable energy, and examples from carbon capture projects implemented around the world.
