Specifying Low Carbon Concrete

Collaboration to Reduce Embodied Carbon

Reducing embodied carbon in concrete is only possible when specifications permit it. Architects, engineers and general contractors are instrumental in fostering innovation by making concrete specifications performance-based and inclusive of innovation.

Performance-based Specifications

• You’ll reassure your clients that you take their ESG goals and climate targets seriously, and that you and your team are a part of the solution.
• You’ll empower concrete producers who have adopted CarbonCure and other carbon reduction solutions to innovate – which means you get the same concrete product with a reduced carbon footprint. Oftentimes, our partners struggle to use CarbonCure on commercial projects due to lack of awareness or stakeholder buy-in. Specifications allowing CarbonCure mitigate that challenge.
• You’ll signal to concrete producers that embodied carbon is important and encourage producers to adopt and use solutions like CarbonCure to reduce carbon emissions.
• You’ll stimulate conversations around embracing innovation, and bring more sustainable construction solutions to the marketplace.
