Popis: The purpose of the national FastCarb project was to investigate whether the carbonation process of recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs) can be accelerated and benefit from both a carbon footprint point of view and the recycling of these aggregates in concrete. This article presents a part of the results obtained within the project. Two industrial demonstrators were carried out, which allowed for carbonating RCA and manufacturing concrete and concrete objects containing these aggregates. A life cycle analysis showed the importance of transport distances in the results concerning climate change. The project finally shows an interest in the technique for recycled concrete sands.
