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.

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.

SCG1: The Sustainable Concrete Guide - Strategies and Examples (EN)

Andrea J. Schokker, Editor

All materials have sustainable benefits and shortcomings, and concrete is no exception. This book is intended to provide the design and construction team with objective information on concrete’s characteristics—including its pros and cons related to sustainability—that the design/construction team can consider and use to meet the needs and requirements of building owners.

There’s a NEU Path to Carbon Neutral Concrete

Drew Burns, CAE

The concrete industry is working to reduce its carbon footprint, but despite the amount of work already accomplished, there is still much to do. In a significant step to help meet carbon reduction goals, the American Concrete Institute (ACI) has established a uniquely positioned center, NEU: An ACI Center of Excellence for Carbon Neutral Concrete.

NEU Leads the Journey to Reduce Carbon Emissions in Concrete

Drew Burns, CAE

An important step in the drive to meet carbon reduction goals in the concrete industry is American Concrete Institute’s (ACI) uniquely positioned Center, NEU: An ACI Center of Excellence for Carbon Neutral Concrete. With the purpose of driving research, education, awareness, and global adoption of the use of carbon-neutral concrete materials and technologies in the built environment, NEU envisions a concrete industry in which all have access to technologies and the knowledge needed to produce and place carbon-neutral concrete and concrete products
