"The building industry is particularly resource-intensive and the urgency to produce concrete in a resource-conserving way is an imperative of the time. Around 40 % of Germany's greenhouse gases are attributable to construction and the use of buildings. These days about 78 % of construction waste is recycled, but due to the existing restrictions in Germany only 12,5 % of
the demand for aggregate in concrete is covered by recycled aggregate, so the remaining material loses its value and is removed from the material life-cycle.
The paper presents the results of a testing program and show how, in order to drive decarbonization of concrete, the concrete matrix can be optimized by a significantly expand of the possibilities of using recycled aggregates, as for example replacing natural sand by crushed sands, what currently is not permitted by German Standards. However, the main potential for saving CO2 lays in the cement, which is responsible for approximately 93 % of the greenhouse potential of concrete. To reduce the CO2 emission of
concrete significantly a lower clinker content is demanded and a low clinker-cement factor should be aimed for. Other ways to decarbonize include optimizing the fuel matrix, using alternative raw materials, or carbon capture technologies."
