Abstract

Researchers seek sustainable materials for eco-friendly cement and concrete to reduce CO2 emissions. This paper offers an extensive overview of the research conducted on concrete technology with minimal to zero-carbon emissions. This review paper reviews materials and technologies for lowering the construction industry's carbon footprint, focusing on alternative binders and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). Additionally, the paper explores the transformative potential of carbon capture and utilization technologies for sustainability. It also explored life cycle assessments, economic aspects, and financial implications of this technology. Overall, the review summarizes low-carbon concrete in the…
