Abstract
The construction industry's substantial contribution to global carbon emissions necessitates the development of sustainable building materials. Carbon-absorbing concrete offers a promising solution by sequestering carbon dioxide during its production and usage, potentially mitigating the environmental impact of traditional concrete. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of carbon-absorbing concrete, focusing on its production methods, material composition, and the effectiveness of various carbon sequestration techniques. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify and evaluate methodologies used in creating carbon-absorbing concrete, including supplementary cementitious materials, carbonation curing processes, and innovative carbon capture technologies. Key findings suggest that incorporating materials such as fly ash, graphene oxide, and blast furnace slag not only enhances the concrete's carbon absorption capabilities but also improves its mechanical properties, including compressive strength and durability. Challenges remain in optimizing the mix designs and understanding the long-term durability of these materials. However, this research highlights the potential for carbon-absorbing concrete to advance sustainable construction practices and reduce the carbon footprint of the built environment. Future studies are recommended to explore material optimization, lifecycle assessments, and real-world applications to maximize the efficacy and scalability of carbon-absorbing concrete.
