US: Holcim US has successfully transitioned its 0.5Mt/yr Joppa, Illinois, cement plant to 100% Portland limestone cement (PLC) production. The plant will produce the company’s OneCem brand PLC. The producer says that the facility supplies cement to customers along the Mississippi from Minneapolis to the Gulf of Mexico and up the Ohio as far as Pittsburgh.

Plant manager Michel Klenk said “As a leader in our industry, it’s our responsibility to build a path for others to follow by setting the bar for product innovation and improvement. OneCem fits the bill as a low-carbon product that allows for sustained performance with lower emissions.”
