Low-Carbon Concrete Materials Available to Reduce CO2 Emissions of Concrete

NEU Concrete Materials brochure screenshot_edited.jpg

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

Reducing Carbon Emissions

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.

Tech Spotlight: What the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Means for the Cement Industry

Juliano de Goes Arantes

The new Infrastructure Investment Bill together with an additional program announced by the Federal Highway Administration will provide funding for a variety of infrastructure projects, including roads and bridges across the country. To produce lower-carbon concrete for these projects, cement companies must strike the right balance between cost and sustainability.

Industry Works Toward Reducing Embodied Carbon

Pilot research programs are being conducted to develop commercially viable options that can potentially impact the carbon footprint of concrete industry. The article discusses two such programs: developing a high-performance, graphene-enhanced cement and creating a software for optimizing concrete mixtures based on historical data on materials and mixture performance.
