Powering America’s Growth with Sustainable Cement Production

Greenfield Cement Plant (U.S.)

Construction of Amwest Energy’s advanced greenfield cement plant is underway. The facility strengthens domestic supply while setting new benchmarks for efficiency and sustainability.

Facility capacity:   1.6 million TPA

Product: High‑quality Portland Type I & II

EPA / MSHA / State EIA

WHR & Alt Fuels

Project Overview

The Amwest Energy Cement Plant is advancing on schedule with foundation and structural works progressing. The facility is engineered for energy‑efficient dry‑process technology and locally sourced limestone reserves.

Energy‑efficient dry process

ASTM‑compliant product lines

Domestic supply chain resilience

CCS‑ready design

Market Impact

Imports continue to fill a sizable share of U.S. demand. Strengthening local capacity reduces exposure to international freight, duties, and tariff‑related volatility.

U.S. Cement & Clinker Imports (2024)

~25–28M st

Tariff Context

Most‑favored‑nation duty for HTS 2523 (cement/clinker): Free. Certain origins may face antidumping/countervailing duties.

Facility Capacity

1.6M TPA

Scaled for regional infrastructure demand

Notes: “st” = short tons. Duty rates per HTS heading 2523 (general rate). AD/CVD applicability varies by country and case.

Sustainability & Compliance

The plant integrates waste heat recovery systems, alternative fuel usage, and future‑ready carbon capture infrastructure, all under stringent EPA and MSHA oversight.

Waste Heat Recovery

WHR units installation in progress.

Alternative Fuels

Fuel blending systems being commissioned.

CCS Ready

Carbon capture interface engineered.

Compliance

EPA • MSHA • EIA permits secured.

Strategic Location

Located near abundant limestone reserves and major transport corridors, the plant is a logistics hub connecting highway, rail, and port infrastructure to support national distribution.
