This research brief by Gwyneth Margaux Tangog, Pranav Pradeep Kumar, Randolph Kirchain, and Hessam AzariJafari presents a context-specific approach for modeling the carbon uptake of a concrete recycling operation. The results demonstrate how increasing stockpiling time, decreasing particle size, and spreading the stockpile over a larger area can help to optimize carbon uptake. Therefore, stakeholders could increase the carbon credits they generate by adopting alternative practices. It is recommended that the brief “Towards Accurate End-of-Life Carbon Uptake Modeling” be read first.
