WA ACI Chapter Meeting ~ Climate, Carbon and Concrete presentation on Portland-Limestone Cements ~ Wednesday, June 2, 2021  

View Jamie Farny's presentation on portland-limestone cement HERE

A Climate, Carbon, and Concrete presentation on Portland-Limestone Cements. This presentation explains what portland-limestone cements (PLC) are and how can they help lead to more sustainable construction. Going beyond PLC's history and uses to new innovations and performance. A significant aspect of PLC is that it lowers concrete carbon emissions by about 10% over more traditional portland cement. 

Presented by Jamie Farny of the Portland Cement Association. As director, building marketing for the Portland Cement Association, Jamie Farny promotes the use of cement-based materials for various applications by focusing on sustainability, resilience, energy efficiency, durability, and other key benefits. He assisted with the development of PCA’s new campaign to raise awareness of portland-limestone cements (PLCs) for improved sustainability of concrete construction. He is a member of the American Concrete Institute, the American Society for Testing and Materials, and The Masonry Society. He holds a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology.
