NRMCA Producer member Central Concrete Supply Company, San Jose, CA, will supply low-CO2 concrete mixes for the San Jose Earthquakes Stadium. The stadium will be the new home for San Jose’s Major League Soccer team, the San Jose Earthquakes. The company will be supplying an estimated 12,000 cubic yards of its concrete, including low CO2 mixes, for the stadium’s foundations and walls, interior and exterior slabs, and other applications. Central Concrete’s low-CO2 mixes significantly cut the portland cement content of the concrete mix (a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions) and will result in an estimated net savings of one million pounds in CO2 emissions from embodied carbon, compared to traditional concrete mixes.
