Abstract
Concrete production is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 7–10% of global CO₂ emissions. Portland cement alone is responsible for up to 80% of concrete’s carbon footprint. Although concrete typically has a lower carbon intensity per unit than many other building materials, its widespread use makes it a critical target for decarbonization. This report, developed by an Ad Hoc Committee of the Scientific Advisory Board of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), provides a comprehensive overview of low-carbon concrete (LCC) technologies, policies, and implementation strategies relevant to New Jersey.
