Cement and CO2, the reality by Prof. Karen Scrivener

ROC&TOK Webinar: Cement and CO2, the reality Speaker: Prof. Karen Scrivener, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland This webinar addresses the environmental impact of cement and its carbon footprint. The construction sector is currently responsible for more than 20% of global annual CO2 equivalent emissions and between a quarter and half of these emissions are due to the production of cement. More sustainable cementitious materials are viable without drastically changing the industry and the practices currently in place. About RILEM: The mission of RILEM is to advance scientific knowledge related to construction materials, systems and structures and to encourage transfer and application of this knowledge world-wide. This mission is achieved through collaboration of leading experts in construction practice and science including academics, researchers, testing laboratories and authorities.
