Event organised by ICE
The Green Construction Board’s Low Carbon Concrete Group recently developed an embodied carbon classification scheme for concrete, intended to help users understand the carbon intensity of concrete products currently available in the UK.
The scheme provides a common calculation methodology, underpinned by shared definitions and assumptions, helping alleviate the current market confusion over the definition of ‘low’, or ‘lower’ carbon concrete. The scheme is kept up to date by periodic surveys of the carbon content of concrete sold in the UK.
This presentation describes an extension to this embodied carbon classification scheme by Arup, which aims to provide a set of fixed embodied carbon rating bands (A-G) for concrete. These can help bodies implement market interventions to stimulate demand for lower carbon concrete, in cases where dynamic rating bands would be hard to use. They can also help communicate industry progress towards net zero.
