Driving this trend, 63% of engineers and contractors report that most of their clients ask for EPDs on their projects.<\/p>\n<h3>Life cycle assessments are deployed by 78% of engineers and contractors<\/h3>\n<p>The study also shows that life cycle assessments (LCAs) of projects, which include carbon measurements, are deployed by 78% of engineers and contractors on at least some of their projects.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the use of performance-based specifications, which enables the selection of concrete products based on their carbon content, is on the rise, with 51% of engineers and contractors expecting them to be employed on more projects in the next three years.<\/p>\n<h3>Concrete produced with lower carbon emissions is also an option<\/h3>\n<p>Another alternative to consider for reducing carbon in concrete are viable options for concrete products that involve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/featured\/graphene-enhanced-concrete-build-sustainable-future%e2%80%af\/111736\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lower carbon emissions in their production<\/a>. The study shows that green concrete products already have a foothold in the market.<\/p>\n<p>The use of carbon mineralization to reduce cement and associated carbon emissions is already in use by 41% of engineers and contractors.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, approaches like admixtures that replace diminishing materials\/fly ash or that replace harmful chemicals are also emerging, with concrete products utilizing these approaches specified or purchased by about one quarter of engineers and contractors.<\/p>\n<h3>Market demand will drive innovation in reducing carbon in concrete<\/h3>\n<p>CarbonCure Technologies chair and CEO, Rob Niven, commented:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis vital new research confirms what we\u2019ve seen developing: the unprecedented demand for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/mmc-news\/how-can-factory-built-homes-cut-carbon\/113963\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">low embodied carbon concrete products<\/a>, and for broadly available, robust LCAs. This increasing demand across the private and public sectors is accelerating the transformation of concrete into a global climate solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn all the research we conduct, owner engagement is incredibly important to bring the rest of the industry onboard,\u201d says Donna Laquidara-Carr, industry insights research director at Dodge Construction Network.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir commitment to reducing embodied carbon is perhaps the most important factor in helping the industry achieve that goal, and we expect those impacts to continue to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reducing carbon in concrete is now the top demand across the building industry, a report from Dodge Construction Network has found. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[308],"tags":[811,856,916,93645,465],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-116029","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-plant-equipment-supplies-news","7":"tag-concrete","8":"tag-construction-technology","9":"tag-modern-methods-of-construction","10":"tag-net-zero","11":"tag-sustainable-construction"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Reducing carbon in concrete now a top priority across construction industry<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Reducing carbon in concrete is now the top demand across the building industry, a report from Dodge Construction Network has found\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/plant-equipment-supplies-news\/reducing-carbon-in-concrete-now-a-top-priority-across-construction-industry\/116029\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Reducing carbon in concrete now a top priority across construction industry\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Reducing carbon in concrete is now the top demand across the building industry, a report from Dodge Construction Network has found\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/plant-equipment-supplies-news\/reducing-carbon-in-concrete-now-a-top-priority-across-construction-industry\/116029\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
