SUSTAINABILITY PART 3 - LOW CARBON CONTENT CEMENT

If the construction industry is to contribute to Australia's goal of achieving net-zero emissions, the urgency to adopt very low carbon concrete mixes is crucial. Join Miles Dacre from AECOM Australia, a seasoned expert in concrete durability asset condition assessment, to learn about actionable steps that asset owners can follow to reduce carbon content in their concrete mixes, and how to stimulate the demand to achieve commercial scale and cost competitiveness.

Also in this webinar, Alberto Jimenez, Senior Project Officer from the Office of Energy & Climate Change, will provide an overview of the sustainability program for building materials, focusing on the technical requirements for low carbon content concrete. Here are some key insights from Albert's presentation:
- NSW government has developed specifications for low carbon concrete to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while ensuring durability, structural performance, and sustainability in construction projects.
- The specifications offer compliance pathways through reduced cement use and innovative lower carbon initiatives, including limits on cementitious materials and embodied carbon emissions.
- Guidelines and fact sheets support the implementation of these specifications, addressing concrete emissions calculation, LCC implementation, manufactured sand and slag aggregate, recycled concrete aggregate, and supplementary cementitious materials.

Join us to understand how these initiatives shape the future of sustainable construction practices.
