Abstract:
Understanding how to meet low-carbon concrete (LCC) mixture requirements is a challenge that many in the concrete industry now face. Part of the challenge is that the definition and reporting requirements for LCC vary widely by jurisdiction and specifying agency. Global warming potential limits, per mixture or per project requirements, and industry-average environmental product declarations have to be considered.
