Concrete is an indispensable part of modern civilization. Its versatility and durability will continue to make it a central element in the further development of our cities and infrastructure in the future. Nevertheless, its future relevance will also depend on how well we succeed in reducing CO2 emissions. It is therefore a task for the entire industry to work together towards the goal of decarbonizing concrete construction.
Modern concrete admixtures are already making an important contribution to more sustainable concrete construction. This report highlights what successes have been achieved so far in reducing CO2 emissions in this way and what further steps are necessary. In the context of a rapidly changing raw material base, it shows how innovative concrete admixtures will enable reliable control of concrete properties and thus make an important contribution to achieving carbon-neutral concrete construction in cooperation with all stakeholders.
