Low-Carbon Cement and Concrete
Applied Low-Carbon Cement and Concrete training that connects cement and concrete emissions with clinker substitution and binders, mix design performance and curing, and a workplace-ready low-carbon specification workshop.
Overview
Practical learning for workplace transfer.
Organizations pursuing Low-Carbon Cement and Concrete must align decisions about cement and concrete emissions with the realities of clinker substitution and binders. Participants test assumptions, design controls for procurement standards and verification, and translate the analysis into an owned implementation output.
Prerequisites
Relevant experience with Low-Carbon Cement and Concrete is useful; technical depth is adapted to the cohort.
Objectives
- Frame cement and concrete emissions for a defensible business decision.
- Diagnose clinker substitution and binders against technical and operational evidence.
- Select and justify an approach to mix design performance and curing under realistic constraints.
- Establish ownership, controls, and measures for procurement standards and verification.
- Deliver the low-carbon specification workshop output and defend it in a stakeholder review.
Target audience
- Energy, sustainability, engineering, and facilities leaders
- Operations, asset, project, and environmental specialists
- Performance, finance, procurement, and data teams
- Executives sponsoring energy-transition investment responsible for Low-Carbon Cement and Concrete
