Delivering Lower Carbon Concrete Without Compromising Strength
SCMs are a practical lever for lowering embodied carbon. However they do introduce new challenges for workability and other parameters.
Cement’s contribution to global CO2 is a well-known concern for the construction industry; not exactly for the impact per tonne, but the sheer volume of cement used globally every year.
Everyone in the construction industry will be familiar with the push for decarbonisation in infrastructure and private-sector construction.
This is where SCMs come into play, as a practical lever for lowering embodied carbon.
And this in turn introduces the pressure to deliver lower carbon concrete without compromising strength or durability.
