DefinitionsDefinitions• Greenhouse gas emissions – gases that trap heat in the atmosphere
(greenhouse effect). The principal greenhouse gases that enter the atmosphere because of human activities are: carbon dioxideatmosphere because of human activities are: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases. (US EPA)
• Carbon footprint – total amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases emitted over a full life cycle of a product or g g y pservice. It is meant to be useful for individuals and organizations to conceptualize their personal (or organizational) impact in contributing to global warming. (Wikipedia)E b di d f t th tit f i d t• Embodied energy - refers to the quantity of energy required to manufacture, and supply to the point of use, a product, material or service. (Wikipedia)
• Global warming – the increase in the average temperature of the• Global warming – the increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and projected continuation. (Wikipedia)

DefinitionsDefinitions• Cap And Trade: Financial incentive for organizations and
corporations to reduce their carbon foot print. The total carbon emissions for a particular country, region, sector are capped at a certain value O i ti i d it t it f ti f th t t lOrganizations are issued permits to emit a fraction of the total emissions
• Those who emit less than target can sell their excess carbon i iemission
• Anthropogenic GHG: Man made CO2

“Sustainability” through Knowledge transfer
• Process: Durable Concrete is a Process. We must identify all barriers and eliminate them. We must facilitate the use of alternate materials to replace non renewable resourcesof alternate materials to replace non renewable resources. And promote efficiency in Manufacturing, Delivering, and Application of Durable Quality concrete. Speak with one voice of the vision and goals of the industryg y
• Product Innovation: To create an environment that is conducive to innovation, value creation, and the ability toconducive to innovation, value creation, and the ability to sustain successful utilization of sustainable material such as Concrete with high content of “Mineral Component” or even Zero clinker factor Hydraulic cement
