Abstract:

In the modern era, global warming becomes a critical environmental issue. Each passing year, the amount of greenhouse gas emission to the atmosphere is in an increasing trend. Carbon dioxide (CO2) remains the ace greenhouse gas which cause significant influence on global warming. CO2 contributes about 82% of the total greenhouse gas emission. Cement industries are one of the major emitters of CO2. India is the world’s second-largest cement producer next to China to reduce the utilization of cement in concrete. In the prospects and perspectives of waste reutilization and ecosustainable concrete production, the feasibility of total replacement of cement with fly ash and replacement of natural river sand with M-Sand in geo-polymer concrete was investigated in this research..
