The Building Blocks of Sustainable Concrete
Eight per cent of the world’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions comes from cement, a key ingredient in concrete, the most commonly used construction material globally. But what if construction materials like concrete didn’t contain any cement, resulting in a low carbon footprint?
One approach is to use precast products like alkali-activated concrete paver blocks for pavements and parking lots, including those for remote and rural communities. This is done through Gupta’s work with India-Canada Impacts Centres of Excellence (IC-IMPACTS), of which UVic is an affiliate partner. IC-IMPACTS develops, tests and scales up local solutions for India and Canada.
