ASCP Forum – Innovation, Sustainability & Low Carbon Concretes – Tuesday 31st May 2022

Innovation, Sustainability, Low Carbon Concretes: How can we achieve in Pavements – was the hotly anticipated topic of our May 2022 Forum. The Australian cement and concrete sector has a long history of reducing its CO2 emissions having delivered a 25 percent reduction since 2000 [VDZ 2022] being a critical material input for durable and cost-effective concrete pavements.

The goal for this forum was to bring together all actors within the concrete pavement supply chain and understand the challenges, drivers, tools and possible pathways towards decarbonising cement, concrete and accordingly the competitive advantage of concrete pavements by 2050.
