Lowering the CO2 Footprint of Concrete with Innovations in Cement, Concrete, and Construction
September 20, 2023 from 1:30pm to 2:30pm Eastern Standard Time
Tampa Convention Center [Lower Level - Ballroom D]
This presentation will describe the role of concrete in global CO2 emissions and the industry roadmaps for achieving carbon-neutral concrete by 2050. It will address emerging specifications for reporting and reducing CO2 through environmental product declarations (EPDs) and redesigned concrete mixes. It will discuss how innovations in cement and concrete available now can be used to reduce CO2.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Outline concrete global CO2 emissions.
- Present road map for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
- Review specifications for reporting and reducing CO2 through environmental product declarations (EPDs).
Identify innovations in cement and concrete available now can be used to reduce CO2.
Watch the inflation of our new 70k-ton dome at our Port #TampaBay Terminal. The dome will store our low-carbon Type IL #cement, allowing us to further support our customers with high-performance products while contributing to mitigating #ClimateChange. #Decarbonization

TRACK SPONSOR - IconX, LLC
ICONX LLC produces and distributes the IconX Shear Connector line. With a new 5"- 6" connector being introduced to the family this year, we are now able to support you on projects with insulation thickness from 2" all the way up to 6" and everything in between, making IconX the smart choice for your high performance insulated wall panels. The foundational goal of the IconX System was to develop a shear connector to make insulated wall panels longer, stronger, and stiffer than previously available. It was also important for the connector to work with any rigid insulation in panels reinforced with mesh or rebar. Due to the composite action that the IconX Shear Connector facilitates between the wythes of concrete, the total concrete thickness can be reduced by 3 to 4 inches over conventional non-composite panel design, saving you material costs and potentially reducing your crane size and footing and foundation sizes. Simply put, we can do more for less. We are committed to helping you have a successful project with us. Contact us by phone or email, or come meet us at the TCA show to discuss what we have to offer.
