Abstract:
The South Korean government has designated the cement-concrete industry as one of the key industries that must reduce carbon emissions to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The article outlines the present situation of South Korea’s policy implementation on carbon neutrality in the cement-concrete field and discusses technological items to realize carbon neutrality.
