Even worse from an environmental standpoint, forecasters predict Portland cement production will double over the next 30 years. There are possible replacements for Portland cement. One option, called alkali-activated materials, promises to perform the same function and cut cement-related carbon emissions by up to 90 percent.

The cement industry runs on thin margins, and the wave of high freight costs in recent years raises a significant challenge to this sector. The cost of transporting cement comprises a substantial portion of the total cost of cement. Here is a detailed analysis of the rising in freight cost challenge and how to reduce logistics costs:

In most situations, using fly ash cement instead of Portland cement to manufacture concrete is a cost-effective option that increases the durability and workability of the concrete mix. This formula also reduces the amount of CO₂ emissions generated by cement production and recycles hazardous waste, instead of allowing it to sit in a landfill.
