Mapping Progress on the Road to Cement Decarbonization

Historically, concrete’s key attributes were durability, reliability, safety, and cost. Recently, sustainability has joined the list as clients demand lower carbon emissions. U.S. cement manufacturers, represented by the Portland Cement Association (PCA), are rising to the challenge by focusing on lower-carbon cements, alternative fuels, and carbon capture technologies. Innovations like portland limestone cement (PLC) are now mainstream, cutting emissions by up to 10%, and all state transportation departments have approved its use. The industry’s shift towards these greener practices aligns with broader environmental goals and regulatory support, marking a significant step towards carbon neutrality.
