LafargeHolcim Conversion to Low-Carbon Portland Limestone Cement

ongoing

LafargeHolcim in the US has announced that its plant facility in Midlothian, Texas, will be the first cement plant in the country to fully convert to Portland limestone cement (PLC). The decision is a monumental step in the industry’s efforts to provide low-carbon materials and solutions. OneCem®, a product under Envirocore™ Cements, is a blended cement manufactured with up to fifteen percent per ton of finely ground limestone. The Holcim Midlothian plant, capable of producing two million tons of cement per year, will reduce CO2 emissions by 70 million pounds each year by incorporating OneCem into its operations.
