The construction industry plays a significant role in global carbon emissions, with cement production being a major contributor. Exploring sustainable alternatives for concrete production is crucial to mitigating the environmental impact of the construction sector. To lessen the influence of the construction industry on the environment, it is imperative to investigate sustainable alternatives for concrete manufacturing. This study investigates the sustainability potential of carbonated water-containing concrete mix designs. Using life cycle assessment utilizing gate-to-gate system boundary, the researcher examined concrete samples' compressive, flexural, pH profiling, and thermogravimetric analysis. The researchers on one of the Brewery Inc. properties carried out the carbonation procedure. Using the data, they applied life cycle analysis to evaluate the concrete mix designs' potential for sustainability. The results indicate the possibility of improving concrete's sustainability and qualities by adding carbonated water, which offers important new information for creating greener building materials.
