拉法基集团称，凤凰粉煤灰硅酸盐水泥比其它的硅酸盐水泥二氧化碳排放量低，在Westbury, Northfleet和Hope的三个厂已经产销多年。.但拉法基称，在Theale, Seaham和Abertham的三个厂将在2008年12月首次对英国客户销售这种水泥。
拉法基水泥英国公司市场总监Javed Sethi评论说，我们长期以来一直倡导更环保的建筑材料，并希望把可以使我们的客户尽可能容易的选择满足他们自身环境目标的产品。他还表示“拉法基目睹了对像的象凤凰这样的可持续发展产品需求的逐年增加，我们也正在致力于满足这一点。”
拉法基水泥英国公司表示，凤凰水泥的零售价是其它标准硅酸盐水泥价格的90％，因此，在许多工程里用凤凰水泥成本会更低。但其较低的熟料含量意味着它不如标准的硅酸盐水泥强度大，所以对某些项目可能需要更多数量的水泥。

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.
