ABSTRACT

Green concrete is a revolutionary topic in the history of concrete industry. This was first invented in
Denmark in the year 1998. Green concrete has nothing to do with colour. It is a concept of thinking
environment into concrete considering every aspect from raw materials manufacture over mixture design
to structural design, construction, and service life.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION
Cement and concrete may have an important role to play in enabling Denmark to fulfill its
obligation to
reduce the total CO2 emission by 20 % compared to the 1988-level before 2005, as agreed at the
Kyoto
conference.
This is because the volume of concrete consumption is large in Denmark. Approx. 1.5 tons of
concrete
per capita are produced annually. The CO2 emission related to concrete production, inclusive of
cement production, is between 0.1-0.2 tons per ton produced concrete. This corresponds to a total
quantity of CO2 emission of 0.6 - 1.2 m tons per year. Approx. 1 - 2 % of Denmark’s total CO2
emission stems from cement and concrete production.
The potential environmental benefit to society of being able to build with green concrete is huge.
It is
realistic to assume that technology can be developed, which can halve the CO2 emission related
to
concrete production. With the large consumption of concrete this will potentially reduce
Denmark’s
total CO2 emission by - 1 %.
The some what soft demands in the form of environmental obligations result in rather specific

Environmental benefits-
Fly ash utilization, especially in concrete, has significant environmental benefits including: (1)
increasing the life of concrete roads and structures by improving concrete durability, (2) net
reduction in energy use and greenhouse gas and other adverse air emissions when fly ash is used
to replace or displace manufactured cement, (3) reduction in amount of coal combustion products
that must be disposed in landfills, and (4) conservation of other natural resources and materials.
