and, most importantly, cement.
Cement is what binds all of these ingredients together to give concrete its durability and distinctive, grey appearance.
Cement production, however, also generates most of concrete’s emissions:
🔥In fact, cement accounts for around 8% of all CO2 emissions worldwide

Concrete
Concrete is among the world’s most consumed materials—second only to water. It also produces large amounts of heat-trapping greenhouse gases.
