Popis: Modern society has the moral obligation to manage energy wisely, in order to preserve the environment for future generations. The need for cement implies the extremely high use of relatively expensive energy, evident in all segments of production and application. The use of fossil fuels during cement production is the main problem for creating the greenhouse effect and climate change. Until the end of this decade, about 10% of total CO2 emissions of anthropogenic origin will be a consequence of cement production. In order to preserve the competitiveness of concrete as the most widely used building material, it is necessary to take appropriate actions to promote sustainable development. In that way, a cement replacement with a cheaper and cleaner product – filler could have a significant global contribution. The conducted analyses shown in this paper undoubtedly provide the great potential of green concretes with low cement and high filler content in structures.
