The low-carbon concrete was developed by a study group established by thirteen construction contractors. Blast furnace slag can substitute up to 70% of cement used in the concrete, which reduces CO2 emission by 9 to 63% compared to conventional products. Construction work of the office building, the first application of the concrete is underway in Ginza, Tokyo. The building will have one basement floor and 13 floors above ground, with total floor area of 5,510 square meters. Construction will begin in February 2021 with completion slated by the end of December 2022. It is expected that embedded carbon, which indicates how much CO2 the building has stored by the placed concrete, can be reduced by 40% or more. (2020/11/16)
