Decarbonising concrete production in the United Kingdom: a life cycle assessment of energy, transport, and fuel transitions.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: The construction sector, and in particular concrete, contributes substantially to global emissions, energy demand, and the extensive use of materials. To address these challenges, it is important to develop and implement strategies that reduce the environmental footprint of concrete supply chains. Understanding such impacts and the ways to mitigate them is essential. Therefore, this study focuses on analysing the impacts of decarbonisation strategies within the construction sector, with a specific focus on concrete. Methods: A life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted at different levels of the concrete supply chain, from the production in the United Kingdom (UK) of 1 ton of cement and 1 m Results and discussion: The results show that significant reductions (of 10 to 37%) in CO Conclusions: Adopting an electricity mix featuring substantial proportions of nuclear and wind energies, coupled with the use of biomass alongside municipal solid waste for kiln fuel, and integrating battery electric trucks, emerges as a promising alternative. However, this optimal scenario for CO Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11367-025-02537-5.
