Since the dawn of the industrial age, the amount of anthropogenic green house gas emissions has increased exponentially. This phenomenon has been linked to global warming of the earth and consequentially a change to its climate. This has caused an increase in awareness of the environmental impacts of products used in daily life, chief among these is concrete. Concrete is the most consumed product on the planet. As the world develops, concrete is needed to build housing, schools, businesses, etc. Suffice to say, we cannot simply phase out concrete, meaning a reduction of footprint must occur. In order to quantify the environmental footprint and subsequent reduction of emissions, a proper Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) must take place. For this particular project the team proposed using fly-ash as a Supplementary Cementitious Material (SCM) to replace Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). The goal of this was to provide evidence that the proposed forty percent replacement of OPC with fly-ash SCM reduced emissions over zero replacement and current maximum allowed replacement levels. The team's LCA found that the proposed concrete mixture designs reduced environmental footprints forty-two percent and twenty-two percent over no replacement and maximum replacement mixtures accordingly. The work pairs with recent decisions by regulatory bodies to begin regulating based on embodied carbon instead of the traditional emissions regulations.
