The transportation industry has a role to play in reaching carbon neutrality. TRB hosted a webinar on Monday, November 29, 2021 from 2:00-3:30 PM Eastern that explored how to adopt lower-carbon concrete in order to achieve carbon neutrality. Presenters discussed Portland-limestone Type IL cement and explained how it is durable and more environmentally friendly.
