through my humble experience in Pressure Pumping services - Cementer, I used to use Dykerhoff Cement, it is one of the best cement, and I hadn't the chance to make a cement job by Portland cement, but according my reserch i find that PLC has the potential to significantly improve concrete sustainability with performance equal to or better than OPC. It can be used seamlessly as a direct substitution for OPC in mix designs, and PLC hydrates with synergies contributed by limestone that enable enhanced setting and strength performance, especially in combination with SCMs.

Portland Lime Composite Cement is a Green Cement because it reduce emmission of CO2 comparing others Cement Industry. Though its a Green Cement but it has lost of disadvantages at real life. This type of cement generate eccesive heat during its hydration and it required instant curing facilities during casting of concrete.
