TY - CONF A1 - Mezhov, Alexander A1 - Bright, Asante A1 - Schmidt, Wolfram T1 - Increasing the Incorporation of CO2-Sequestering Materials in Concrete N2 - Concrete is the most widely used construction material accounting for approximately half of all human production throughout history. The production of one ton of cement emits around 600 kg of CO2. With a global cement production estimate of 4.2 billion tons, this results in about 2.5 billion tons of CO2 emissions. This accounts for roughly 7.2% of the total global carbon emissions in 2021. Strategies to decrease carbon emissions in the cement and concrete industry include carbon capture and storage (CCS), reduced binders like ordinary Portland cement (OPC) clinker and optimizing material use through improved processes and structural design. This also means changing architectural vision [6], avoiding concrete where its structural performance is not required and use alternative materials instead, and optimizing the communication among the entire production value chain.
