Four Priority Low-Carbon Concrete Initiatives for FHWA LCTM Applications - March 2024

Low-Carbon Concrete for DOTs Four Priority Low-Carbon Concrete Initiatives for FHWA LCTM Applications March 2024 FHWA’s Low-Carbon Transportation Materials Grants Program Is LIVE! We’ve developed an easily deployable toolkit of project ideas that state DOTs can use to inform their applications to the FHWA LCTM program, specifically related to procurement of low-carbon concrete materials. [...] Our hope is to make it easy for DOTs to develop a cohesive approach to improving the durability and reducing the environmental impact of concrete. [...] Innovative, Emerging Low-Carbon Materials The objective of this initiative is to explore and validate the effectiveness of innovative materials in reducing carbon emissions. [...] Develop concrete mixture approval process that is performance-based and applicable to all concrete materials for use in a set of concrete innovation demonstration projects. [...] As agencies develop proposals for the FHWA LCTM, the RMI team and others, including the RC3 group, are available to advise DOTs and review aspects of the project applications.
