CORVALLIS, Ore. – Caltrans, the agency responsible for more than 50,000 miles of highways and freeways in California, has approved the use of low-carbon cement following testing by the Oregon State University College of Engineering.
Caltrans said the use of portland limestone cement, or PLC, will help reduce the carbon footprint of California’s transportation system by as much as 10% annually compared to ordinary portland cement. PLC has a higher percentage of limestone, which results in the carbon savings.
