The US cement industry must accelerate decarbonization progress dramatically to keep pace with sector-wide net-zero goals. Cement represents ~7–8% of global CO2 emissions and ~1–2% of US CO2 emissions (~70 MT CO2 /year). Scaling low-carbon cement will be critical for the US to achieve net zero.
As the largest cement producer in the US, Holcim is making low-carbon cement the standard by shifting all our US plants (12 of 13 to date) to primarily produce OneCem, Type IL cement. Other products available include early strength cements, highly technical oil well cements, strong and cost-effective road binders, masonry cements and more.
