Many solutions exist to produce low-carbon concrete. One such solution is the increased use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and alternative cements.

LC3 contains about 50% ordinary portland cement (OPC), providing the same ease of use and strength as OPC, and is the most effective way to reduce the amount of clinker used.

Adoption of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement and Concrete in the U.S. Market

Limestone calcined clay cement is a promising alternative to portland cement and one of the best solutions emerging for reducing carbon emissions from the cement industry. Under the current state of technology development, the carbon intensity of limestone calcined clay cement is 40% lower than portland cement. Calcined clays can be combined with limestone to produce blended cements or be used as a supplementary cementitious material in place of portland cement in concrete.
