Sugarcane waste-based geopolymer concrete for sustainable construction (IMAGE)

Cement production is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to around 7% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions globally. Now, a study from Hasanuddin University shows that a concrete mix with 5% sugarcane bagasse ash and polypropylene fibers significantly improves mechanical strength while reducing carbon emissions by up to 30%, offering a more sustainable option for the construction industry.
