Sustainable Concrete Technology

Sustainable Concrete Technology

1. Current Situation

   • Sustainable Mehtods
     • Portland Cement Substitution
       • GGBS
       • PFA
     • Durability
       • Structures last longer
     • Recycling
       • Reducing the need for further extraction of raw materials
   • Quarrying
   • CO2 Emissions
     • Extraction and Processing
       • Aggregates
       • Cement
     • Transport
     • Operation
   • Legislation
     • Life Cycle Assessments
     • BREEAM
     • CEEQUAL
     • Current legislation is award based and is usually only aimed at high-profile builds. Nothing ensures low-profile builds from self employed or similarly small companies make an effort with sustainability

2. Research

   • Novacem
     • Good start up company with a lot of progress, however since being bought out no new data has been released.
   • Calera
     • Lower energy chemicals not actually a direct substitute for portland cement or concrete
