US: Cemex USA has begun selling Portland limestone cement produced at its Brooksville, Florida, and Demopolis, Alabama, plants across the Southeastern US. The producer says that the cement retains the durability of ordinary Portland cement or is more durable while reducing CO2 emissions by 10%. Cemex USA aims to increase its PLC production at the plants, and possibly to begin producing it at other US cement plants, in early 2022.
President Jaime Muguiro said "At Cemex, we acknowledge that climate action is one of the most important issues facing our world, and we are committed to being part of the solution. Our company has ambitious emission-reduction targets, and by offering lower carbon products that deliver brilliant performance like PLC, we can continue to work toward those goals while encouraging customers to join us in the journey."
