After concrete is made, it gradually absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in a process called carbonation. With the ingredients and techniques common today, making cement produces more emissions than the material can later absorb, so every new ton of cement worsens climate change. But if cem...
This paper has elaborated both conception and implication of embodied carbon, and also calculated the amount of carbon embodied in cement exported from China in 2006 based on real situation of China's export trade. The calculation results have revealed the fact that over ten million tons of CO2...

1.1. Whole-Life Carbon Emissions of Buildings and Civil Constructions Carbon neutrality by 2050 requires the consideration of both embodied and operational carbon emissions in a “whole life carbon”, covering all carbon dioxide emissions derived from the material production phase, construction phase, an...
This eco-friendly range includes ECOCem™, a selection of low-carbon cements; ECOConcrete™, offering concrete with significantly reduced embodied carbon; ECOSand™, a perfect substitute for natural sand; and ECODrymix™, an eco-friendly pre-mix range. This initiative is part of its ...
Portland cement has high embodied energy and embodied carbon associated with its manufacture. In many construction applications, the need for concrete and mortar abrasion resistance requires the consumption of significantly higher amounts of Portland cement for higher concrete and mortar compressive strength...
Building greener cities. Bonhomie Cement Inc brings green cement and sustainable concrete products reducing embodied CO2 of concrete by >61%
while emissions reduction opportunities are observed across the different processes and activities, decarbonizing the CCI is largely a function of decarbonizing cement. That is, the less conventional clinker used in cement products, the smaller the overall embodied emissions of cement and concrete prod...
