Effect of transportation distance, energy mix and allocation of fly ash on the life-cycle assessment of concrete
Abstract
Industrial by-products (ex. fly ash, slag) have been used as supplementary cementing materials (SCM) resulting in several benefits, including lowering the environmental impact of concrete. North America is a large cement consumer as well as producer of fly ash from coal-fired power plants. The distance that the fly ash has to travel, the energy grid mixture used in its processing and the allocation of the SCM affect its environmental impact. A …
