Evaluating the impact of using green concrete on reducing energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions

In the past decade, the concrete industry has witnessed considerable advancements, particularly concerning sustainability practices and the criteria for green concrete. The significance of prioritizing sustainability cannot be overstated, particularly in light of the fact that ordinary Portland cement (OPC), a crucial component and primary binder in concrete production, is responsible for approximately 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions. Concrete production significantly threatens the natural reserves of raw materials. It is anticipated that the construction industry will require the production of billions of tons of concrete in the forthcoming years, highlighting the critical need for research aimed at identifying viable alternatives to traditional concrete materials. This article will explore the sustainable advantages associated with the use of activated alkali fillers, supplementary cementitious materials, and recycled materials as primary raw materials
