Tag: low-carbon concrete

Engineers at RMIT University have unveiled a low-carbon concrete that can recycle twice the amount of coal ash compared to current standards, cut cement usage by 50 per cent, and maintain high durability over time.

Did you know that 10 TRILLION cubic metres of concrete are made every year. That is a lot of zeros and a lot of concrete, but more importantly, it also means an awful lot of climate-warming carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere using standard cement – 8% of the world’s total CO2 emissions.
