Abstract:
This presentation will provide an overview of the carbon intensity of concrete and the role of cementitious binders in the embodied carbon in concrete products. It will review current best practices the industry is undertaking to achieve low carbon concrete mixtures. A discussion of the role of Life Cycle Assessments in accounting for carbon will be given along with guidance for optimizing carbon reduction strategies in concrete.
