Journal: Magazine of Concrete Research
Publisher: Emerald Publishing
Submission Opens: 1 February 2026 (Abstracts by 31 January 2026)
Submission Deadline: 30 June 2026

Introduction
This Special Issue targets high-quality research/reviews on LCA of low-carbon concrete amid construction's CO₂ pressures. Focus: minimize emissions while ensuring performance/durability. Covers low-carbon binders, supplementary materials, recycled aggregates, carbon capture, bio-based/geopolymer concretes. LCA across production, construction, service, end-of-life. Integrates performance design, durability, circular economy, BIM/AI tools. Bridges research, industry, policy for carbon-neutral concrete.
