Low‐Carbon Concrete Systems: A Comparative Review of Binder Technologies and Alternative Materials

Journal of Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
About 8% of the world′s carbon dioxide emissions come from the production of concrete, mostly from the clinker used to make regular Portland cement. By comparing supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), alkali‐activated materials (AAMs), alternative aggregates, and waste‐derived elements using a shared carbon‐performance paradigm, this review ...
