Abstract

In terms of anthropogenic carbon emissions, Cement production ranks fourth. The natural world faces an unprecedented environmental catastrophe as these emissions continue to rise. The innovative list emulsion Ferrock provides a carbon-negative indispensable to cement that uses a multitude of waste aqueducts to produce a structure material that is protean and durable. The purpose of this study is to use cradle-to-gate relative analysis to compare the environmental impacts of Ferrock and Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), specifically their carbon emissions, water usage, and energy use. We present an extensive literature review and an environmental assessment of Ferrock’s production, from its raw material extraction to its curing and hardening phases, and all associated processing steps. By its unique strength- gaining medium, which is in discrepancy to that of cement, the product laterally reduces carbon dioxide released, therefore making it stand out among numerous other cement supplements. Analysis of OPC results has been compared with the results of this study. The comparison of ferrock in concrete with the full relief of cement is an important part of the research.

Keywords
