Cement plants achieving a level of energy efficiency within the top quartile of energy performance in the U.S. are eligible to earn the ENERGY STAR, the national symbol of energy efficiency in manufacturing plants. Cement plants which currently hold the honor of displaying the ENERGY STAR banner or flag include:

  • The Ash Grove Cement Company plant in Chanute, Kansas
  • The Ash Grove Cement Company plant in Seattle, Washington
  • The California Portland Cement Company plant in Colton, California
  • The California Portland Cement Company plant in Mojave, California

  • The Lafarge North America plant in Calera, Alabama
  • The Lafarge North America plant in Sugar Creek, Missouri
  • The Titan America Roanoke Cement Company plant in Roanoke, Virginia

Plants qualify by achieving an energy performance rating in the top 25 percent nationally using EPA's ENERGY STAR Cement Plant Energy Performance Indicator (EPI). EPA's national energy performance rating system, developed in cooperation with industry, enables companies to evaluate the energy efficiency of their plants relative to the industry and to develop challenging energy improvement goals and plans. Scores are based on actual energy use. EPA is currently working with 10 industries to advance similar energy management tools.
