Please join the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the Colorado School of Mines as they welcome Payne Institute Faculty Fellow Lori Tungstall presenting Technological Strategies to Decarbonize the Concrete Industry on Friday, January 24, 2025.
Worldwide, every year cement and concrete production accounts for as much as 9% of all human CO2 emissions. This is roughly equivalent to the emissions generated from all passenger vehicles on the globe. Numerous stakeholders, ranging from cement producers to government agencies, have made public commitments to achieving net zero concrete by 2050, causing an unprecedented surge in low-carbon concrete innovation. This talk will discuss emerging and existing technologies available to the concrete industry, focusing on how the technology works, the level of carbon reduction that can be achieved, and barriers to marketplace entry.
