CO2
(greenhouse gas)
0.8-1.0 tons CO2
per ton of concrete
4 Billion tons
Concrete manufactured per year
4-8% of CO2
Emissions from concrete manufacture
SCMs like Coconut Shell Ash (CSA) can partially replace cement, reducing emissions!
Why the Blog Format?
One thing that always irritated me about higher academia is that it sometimes seems inaccessible to someone without the insider knowledge built up over hundreds of years. I know every time I research a new topic, I'm scratching my head the more dozen-page research papers I read.
Therefore, I want to create a comprehensive, but also simple and engaging way for others to become more involved and knowledgeable on the important topics and research covered here without unnecessary complexities. This means more visualization, thorough, logical explanations, and reasons you should actually care.
I believe that when we can get everyone involved in creating solutions, that's when we'll succeed in tackling the largest challenge of our times: the climate crisis.
