C3 Symposium

The Carbon Conscious Concrete (C3) Symposium serves as a premier platform for exchange of ideas and collaboration between academic researchers, materials scientists, industrial chemists, and industry experts specializing in decarbonization of cement and concrete production. The symposium addresses novel low-CO₂ binders including alkali-activated materials, supplementary cementitious materials derived from industrial waste streams, and alternative cement chemistries that reduce clinker content and associated emissions. Technical sessions explore advanced manufacturing processes and emissions reduction technologies, carbon capture and utilization integration at cement plants, concrete carbonation techniques for CO₂ sequestration, circular economy approaches to concrete recycling, and comprehensive life cycle assessment methodologies for carbon footprinting. Participants span government policymakers, construction industry leaders, environmental consultants, sustainability specialists, and venture investors focused on decarbonizing the world's most carbon-intensive industries.
