CEMEX to increase production of low carbon limestone cement By CEMEX Communications Staff Redstone Review HOUSTON – CEMEX USA has announced that as part of its efforts to reduce CO2 emissions, the company has increased production of Portland limestone cement (PLC) at its plant in Lyons, CO with the environmentally friendly, lower carbon building material expected to become the plant’s primary product by this summer. PLC can offer CO2 emission reductions of up to 10 percent when compared to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). In PLC, finelyground limestone replaces a portion of the clinker, cutting clinker factor by about 10 percent and reducing CO2 intensity when compared to OPC. Extensive testing and customer feedback have shown PLC offers the same or better performance in durability and resilience when compared to OPC. CEMEX USA President Jaime Muguiro said, “The increased production of Portland limestone cement is just one element of our plan to reduce our carbon footprint, and by making the lower carbon solution more available for our customers, they can help provide an even broader and effective impact.” Though PLC has been produced at Lyons cement plant for more than 15 years,
CEMEX is ramping up production to better align with the company’s ambitious carbon reduction goals and meet increased demand for lower carbon materials. Just last year, CEMEX implemented its Future in Action program to reduce CO2 throughout its value chain and announced updated climate goals. The aggressive targets include reducing the company’s CO2 emissions by 40 percent by 2030 compared to 1990 baseline levels and working to deliver net-zero concrete globally by 2050. To learn more about Portland limestone cement, visit the website: www.cemexusa.com/PLC. CEMEX is a global building materials company that provides high-quality products and reliable services with a rich history of improving the wellbeing of those it serves through innovative building solutions, efficiency advancements and sustainability efforts. Its U.S. network includes 10 cement plants, close to 50 strategically located cement terminals, nearly 50 aggregate quarries and more than 280 ready-mix concrete plants. CEMEX USA has been repeatedly recognized for its efforts in sustainability and energy management, including earning U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year in 2019, 2020 and 2021.
