Greenhouse gas emissions of global construction material production by Seth Kane, Josefine A Olsson, Sabbie A Miller

“…Both construction material production and emissions are primarily driven by structural materials, such as concrete and steel. Material selection can play a key role in reducing emissions in the context of the function, with variation in emissions of structural materials per unit strength between 0.001–0.1 kg CO _2 /kg/MPa and in insulation materials per R -value/thickness of 0.018–0.14 kg CO _2 /kg/(K⋅m ^2 W ^−1 ))). …”
