ICR spoke with Jen Carson, head of industry at Climate Group following the recent launch of global initiative 'ConcreteZero' in the UK. The initiative aims to drive climate action faster and to bring net zero CO_2 emissions to the cement and concrete sectors by encouraging demand for low-...
Saoradh Enterprise Partners (SEP), analyzes the life cycle assessments (LCAs) and cost-benefits of seven low carbon concrete mixes. The analysis assumes a ready mix batching plant in the US with a capacity of 100,000 m3of concrete
Ultra-low Carbon Concrete The building blocks for real industrial decarbonization are here today Reversa®Binder by CarbonBuilt Reversa® Binder enables concrete producers to reduce the carbon footprint of their products by an average of 70%, with no compromise to product cost,performance, or pla...
Handbook of Low Carbon Concretebrings together the latest breakthroughs in the design, production, and application of low carbon concrete. In this handbook, the editors and contributors have paid extra attention to the emissions generated by coarse aggregates, emissions due to fine aggregates, and ...
Sant, founder of CarbonBuilt, that’s precisely the point. What sets the concrete apart is not how it performs or how it looks — but how it’s made. The recipe calls for an unusual ingredient: carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas and a significant driver of climate change. “We can ...

The built environment’s reinforced focus on carbon has placed considerable attention on concrete. As a key driver of embodied carbon of structures, concrete is often the first avenue where designers and builders seek to reduce carbon by optimizing mix designs. Several performance requirements also ...
With that in mind, this article presents three specific products and systems –low-carbon glass, low-carbon concrete, and lightweight materials– that architects are applying in their projects to contribute to alow-impactarchitectural design.
Researchers at ETH Zurich in Switzerland have developed a concrete floor system that uses 70% less material compared to traditional reinforced concrete.
