Reflecting on the Portland Cement Association’s 2nd Annual Sustainability Summit:

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Assistant Secretary Brad Crabtree's presentation revealed some exciting insights. 

We've underestimated our industry's ability to decarbonize—new technologies and innovative practices are accelerating progress beyond initial projections.

Notably, the IRA and BIL have been game-changers. Under Crabtree's leadership, the Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) is fostering an environment where emerging technologies can flourish, creating a more optimistic outlook for sustainable cement production.

The cement industry is at the forefront of sustainable innovation, moving faster and more efficiently than we imagined. As we continue our journey to a low-carbon future, it's inspiring to see how far we've come and how much potential lies ahead.
