NRMCA’s Lionel Lemay along with members of the MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSH) presented at the annual American Center for Life Cycle Assessment conference held last week in Burlington, VT. The presentation was titled Challenges and opportunities in the definition of scope 1-3 and avoided emissions in the materials industry. Dr. Randy Kirchain, director of the MIT CSH, moderated a panel where Lemay presented NRMCA’s challenges with collecting data to present the concrete industry’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Ipek Bensu Manav and Miaomiao Zhang, both graduate students doing work for the MIT CSH, presented the challenges and opportunities for quantifying Scope 3, and avoided emissions for buildings and pavements, respectively.
