Cement and Concrete have built civilizations

The Pantheon was built as a monument to democracy. Made from concrete to withstand earthquakes and the ravages of time, it still stands centuries later.

Today it’s building a greener world

As we look to the future, cement and concrete manufacturers are innovating new processes and products so we can meet our industry goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.

And tomorrow…

From alternative fuels and AI to projects in carbon capture utilization and storage, we’re working with our members and collaborators throughout the value chain to revolutionize the industry.

Serving the Industry — and the Nation

    A Sustainable Future

    There’s no time to waste. The PCA Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality is a plan of action for reaching an industry-wide net zero by 2050. Working together with policymakers, agency leadership, researchers, and others, we’re implementing solutions that cut emissions and reduce energy use.

    Market Intelligence

    The cement industry is the cornerstone of the nation’s infrastructure and reflects the health of the U.S. economy. Our award-winning team of economists provides market analysis and forecasting that corporations, government, and the media find invaluable.

    Member Representation

    The Portland Cement Association represents the interests of our membership – America’s cement manufacturers. As we steer the industry into the future, we also work to ensure that member companies’ voices are heard on critical issues affecting the industry and the nation.

    Advocacy on the Hill

    Our Government Affairs team works with policymakers and agency leadership, advocating for the industry on matters related to sustainability, safety, and infrastructure, so that together we can build greener and stronger.

    We Are Shaped By Concrete

    Made with cement, concrete is everywhere. It’s our city skylines and the foundations of our homes. It helps transport water to our faucets, makes the highways and bridges that get us where we need to go, and forms the pavement we walk on every day. Concrete sustains our communities and keeps us safer during natural disasters. Concrete is essential for upgrading American infrastructure and maintaining our built environment as we know it.
