Guest Opinion: Digging a Pathway to Net Zero Concrete
Briefly

The cement industry contributes approximately eight percent of global human-made CO2 emissions, primarily due to the heating processes during cement manufacturing, releasing significant amounts of carbon dioxide.
Replacing one ton of cement with fly ash in concrete production effectively reduces CO2 emissions by about 0.8 tons, offering a sustainable alternative.
The use of fly ash in concrete not only minimizes environmental impact but also enhances the material's strength, density, and durability, proving beneficial for long-term infrastructure.
Fly ash has been utilized in the construction industry since 1949, originally saving costs and now serving multiple functions such as improving workability and resistance within concrete.
