Effect of supplementary cementitious materials on reduction of CO2 emissions from concrete
TL;DR: In this article, the effectiveness of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), fly ash (FA), and silica fume (SF) in reducing CO2 emissions from ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete was examined by assembling and analyzing a comprehensive database including 5294 laboratory concrete mixes and 3915 plant mixes.

Carbon emission of global construction sector
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the level of CO2 emission caused by the construction activities globally by using the world environmental input-output table 2009 and analyzed CO2 emissions of construction sector in 40 countries, considering 26 kinds of energy use and non-energy use.

Can Portland cement be replaced by low-carbon alternative materials? A study on the thermal properties and carbon emissions of innovative cements
TL;DR: In this article, seven cementitious binders comprised of metakaolin, silica fume and nano-silica have improved thermal performance compared with Portland cement and calculated the full CO2 emissions associated with manufacture and transport of each binder for the first time.
