拉法基集團已經宣布,計劃把“環保的”鳳凰水泥設為全國性的品牌，集團已經在英國國內增加了三個另外的生產基地。
拉法基集團稱，鳳凰粉煤灰硅酸鹽水泥比其它的硅酸鹽水泥二氧化碳排放量低，在Westbury, Northfleet和Hope的三個廠已經產銷多年。.但拉法基稱，在Theale, Seaham和Abertham的三個廠將在2008年12月首次對英國客戶銷售這種水泥。
拉法基水泥英國公司市場總監Javed Sethi評論說，我們長期以來一直倡導更環保的建筑材料，并希望把可以使我們的客戶盡可能容易的選擇滿足他們自身環境目標的產品。他還表示“拉法基目睹了對像的象鳳凰這樣的可持續發展產品需求的逐年增加，我們也正在致力于滿足這一點。”
拉法基水泥英國公司表示，鳳凰水泥的零售價是其它標準硅酸鹽水泥價格的90％，因此，在許多工程里用鳳凰水泥成本會更低。但其較低的熟料含量意味著它不如標準的硅酸鹽水泥強度大，所以對某些項目可能需要更多數量的水泥。

Lafarge takes ’green’ cement nationwide
(UK) -- Lafarge has announced plans to establish its 'sustainable' Phoenix cement as a nationwide brand, as it added three additional production sites across the country.
Phoenix Portland Fly Ash cement, which Lafarge claims has a lower embodied CO2 value than other Portland cements, has been available for several years for three plants at Westbury, Northfleet and Hope.
But the company said that the additional three sites at Theale, Seaham and Abertham mean that it will be available to customers across the UK for the first time in December 2008.
Lafarge Cement UK head of marketing Javed Sethi commented: "We have long championed the case for more sustainable building materials – and want to make it as easy as possible for our customers to select products which meet their own environmental targets.
"Lafarge has witnessed a year-on-year increase in demand for more sustainable products like Phoenix and we are dedicated to meeting this."
The company said that Phoenix retails at around 90% of the cost of standard Portland cement, so that on many projects it would also be cheaper to use, although its lower clinker content means that it is also not as strong as standard Portland, so larger quantities could be required on some projects.
