The Qld decarbonisation journey and what it means for TMR concrete
Decarbonisation is a challenge being faced across the world by Government and Industry alike. During this presentation the TMR speakers will present what activities are currently underway to reduce carbon emissions related to transport infrastructure. They will discuss current and evolving policy and specifications and talk about how concrete suppliers and constructors can join TMR on this journey.

Changes to cement manufacture
- Cement is the major source of embodied carbon in a concrete mix. What measures are being taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions during cement manufacture ?
- Impact of the Safeguard Mechanism on cement manufacture - imported vs. locally manufactured clinker - where are we going ?
- If emissions from cement manufacture can't be significantly reduced - what's the answer ?

The Summary of Circular Economy Achievements and Use of Macrofibre Reinforced Concrete on Cross River Rail
The RIS package of Cross River Rail has trialled and adopted the use of recycled plastic macrofibre reinforced concrete in a range of readymix applications as a first in the Queensland rail sector. The use of plastic macrofibre offers several benefits over steel mesh reinforced pavements including improved durability, lower cost and lower embodied carbon outcomes. This presentation will share the achievements and practical learnings to assist the broader uptake of plastic macrofibre reinforced concrete in SEQ civil and building applications.
We would like to thank our Annual Sponsors for their ongoing support.
