A new research brief by the MIT CSHub titled Site-Specific Carbon Uptake Estimation of Crushed Concrete at End-of-Life by Gwyneth Margaux Tangog, Pranav Pradeep Kumar, Randolph Kirchain and Hessam AzariJafari presents a context-specific approach for modeling the carbon uptake of a concrete recycling operation. The results demonstrate how increasing stockpiling time, decreasing particle size and spreading the stockpile over a larger area can help to optimize carbon uptake. Therefore, stakeholders could increase the carbon credits they generate by adopting alternative practices.
