Low Carbon Concrete: for more sustainable outcomes on projects

Watch the recording of the live event below

With the built environment industry responsible for 40% of global carbon emissions we collectively need to make significant changes if we are going to achieve our commitments to be Net Zero by 2030.

With Australia producing approximately 70 million tons of pre-mixed concrete each year and with demand expected to increase by 40% by 2050, choosing low carbon concrete over traditional concrete is key to further reduce carbon emissions. 

Our recent event included two presentations by Shalini Trikha, Technical Manager, ecologiQ and Dr Fangjie Chen, Senior Materials Engineer at Arup on initiatives that are supporting a step change for low carbon concrete across the industry. 

Followed by a panel discussion:

  • Rhys Owen-Roberts, Senior Manager- Sustainable Infrastructure, Major Road Projects Victoria

  • Shalini Trikha, Technical Manager, ecologiQ

  • Bo Christensen, Sustainability Manager - Western Program Alliance, McConnell Dowell

  • Dr Fangjie Chen, Senior Materials Engineer, Arup

  • Estela Garcez, Honorary Fellow, Deakin University and Senior Materials Engineer, Arup

Phil Vimpani, Regional Durability and Materials Leader, Arup, moderated.
