One type of blended cement, portland-limestone cement, works as well as conventional cements but emits around 10% less CO 2. Low-carbon concrete can be made with blended cements and supplementary cementitious materials (SCM), which, like conventional cement, bind sand and gravel together when mixed with water.

Portland cement is not a brand name, but the generic term for the type of cement used in virtually all concrete, just as stainless is a type of steel and sterling a type of silver.

And cement we use today, called Portland cement, is made by heating together a combination of limestone and clay at a temperature of 1,450 degrees Celsius. But in fact, most of the CO2 emissions come not from the heating, but from the breakdown of limestone, which is calcium carbonate, into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide, or CO2.
