White Paper: Reducing emissions in concrete production

The paper argues that concrete production must reduce its CO2 emissions through precast.

Concrete production significantly contributes to global CO2 emissions (an estimated 8 percent of global CO2 emissions). Therefore, reducing the emissions generated by concrete production is imperative. Sustainable methods of concrete production must replace traditional energy-intensive processes.

Precast concrete, created in controlled factory settings, offers significant environmental benefits for concrete production, including reduced CO2 emissions. Adopting modern production can further improve sustainability within precast concrete production.

The paper sheds light on how modern precast concrete technology can reduce carbon dioxide emissions in hollow core production by a staggering 35% compared to conventional solutions.
