Abstract

A roadmap for low-carbon concrete was prepared in Finland. The aim of the roadmap was to identify possible options for CO2-emission reductions in concrete production. The calculations were made to correspond the situations in 2030, 2040 and 2050. The calculations were based on the maximum saving potential and the degree of utilization of the options. The roadmap covers the whole Finnish concrete industry and individual companies in different product segments. It is well known that cement has the largest potential for CO2 saving, but the roadmap reveals several other potential options as well. The most potential options vary between the product segments. The roadmap also confirms that concrete can reach very low CO2-emission level in the future.
