Key Points

Life cycle assessment shows that carbon-storing building materials can significantly impact CO2 emissions.
Materials production accounts for over 25% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, suggesting the need for change.
This framework enables a comprehensive evaluation of novel materials across their life cycles to promote sustainability.
The findings highlight the importance of innovative building materials in reducing environmental impacts.

Implication

Framework for assessing carbon-storing building materials' life cycles reveals their potential, indicating significant CO2 emissions reduction.

Abstract

Currently, materials production of materials is responsible for over 25% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. However, due to their long-lived nature and enormous scale of production, some building materials offer a...
