Minimizing Embodied CO2 in Concrete
In this discussion, concrete materials expert Zach Grasley highlights the main reasons why the cradle-to-gate production of concrete is the second largest producer of CO2 of any industry. In addition, both short-term and long-term ideas for minimizing CO2 production associated with concrete are identified. Finally, current tools for end-users to evaluate the potential CO2 impacts of various concrete mixtures and producers is discussed.
Zach is currently Director of the Center for Infrastructure Renewal (CIR) at Texas A&M University, as well as Professor and Zachry Chair for Construction Integration in the Zachry Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, and Professor in Materials Science & Engineering. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Concrete Institute, and the American Ceramic Society.

This video was an advertisement effort (I think?). In any event, it is a great (and hilarious) video that is educational about concrete microstructure and deterioration.

These people don't have a clue about the logistics of the fhe redo mixed concrete business
Nice late 80s/early 90s intro music!
