Abstract

Reducing CO2 emissions from the construction industry is the most imperative factor in the fight against climate change, which aims to reduce the average atmosphere temperature below 1.5 °C by the end of this century. Globally, the cement industry is responsible for approximately ∼7 % of CO2 emissions. About 9.95 Gt/y of CO2 was emitted by the construction sector as of 2019, making it the highest contributor. The construction sector is forecast to reduce its CO2 emissions by 16 % by 2030, leading to net-zero emissions by 2050. Thus, several measures have been implemented to mitigate significant CO2 emissions from the construction industry by capturing and utilizing CO2. This paper reviews existing…
