Results of NEU's First Carbon Neutral Concrete Summit
Federal agencies were front and center as carbon neutrality in concrete was addressed during NEU’s first Summit on Accelerating Carbon Neutral Concrete Materials and Technologies. NEU: An ACI Center of Excellence for Carbon Neutral Concrete has a mission to drive education, awareness, and adoption of carbon neutral concrete materials and technologies.
Representatives from the EPA, Department of Energy (DOE), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) were among the attendees at this groundbreaking event. Together, federal agency representatives, NEU members and allied industry association representatives discussed industry needs, current initiatives, and how all parties can work together to reach carbon neutrality throughout the cement-concrete value chain by 2050.
