Indian Concrete JournalSummary: Concrete is the building block of modern society and the most widely used building material. There are several initiatives and stated goals to minimize the environmental impact of the built environment of construction. To remain competitive, the concrete industry needs to respond to the challenge and lead. The primary focus at this time is the reduction of the embodied carbon of a project when built. There are other initiatives that look at the operational phase of the built environment This paper discusses 10 possible strategies that can reduce the carbon footprint of concrete when there is a sustainability goal for a project. These strategies include more effectively addressing current technology and considering innovation to achieve these goals. These strategies take advantage of concrete’s benefits while ensuring the lowest possible carbon footprint.
