Using Low Carbon Concrete

NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN CONCRETE – AVAILABLE NOW! 

New developments in concrete are cutting carbon substantially. Learn how to incorporate low carbon concrete into your next project!

Concrete production accounts for roughly 8% of global carbon emissions, making concrete mix choices a powerful lever for reducing environmental impact. In this session, leading experts will share practical, cost-effective mix designs that substantially cut carbon while meeting performance requirements.

Gain actionable guidance on:

• Selecting and optimizing low carbon concrete mixes
• Understanding the performance implications of different material substitutions
• Measuring, verifying, and documenting carbon reductions
• Implementing strategies that balance sustainability, durability, and budget

Whether you’re an engineer, architect, contractor, student, or owner, this session will equip you with the knowledge to make informed decisions about using low carbon concrete.
