Abstract

The chapter delves into the environmental burdens of transporting supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) for concrete production, focusing on the impact of transportation mode and distance. It compares the greenhouse gas emissions of importing fly ash from Asia, the U.S., and using locally sourced natural pozzolans in California. The study reveals that locally sourced SCMs significantly reduce emissions compared to imported materials, emphasizing the importance of local resources in achieving sustainability goals. The chapter also discusses the potential of renewable energy in cement production and the need for further exploration of locally available resources to meet carbon neutrality targets.
