  • Abstract
    Global warming is one of the main environmental worldwide issues arising from industrialization and urbanization wherever countries and cities. An ordinary Portland cement production is accelerating this issue. This paper compared the CO2 emission of producing one tonne of fly ash based geopolymer cement and ordinary Portland cement in same manner within defined boundaries by using global warming potential and carbon dioxide emission equivalent methods. The outcome is 36.514% and 63.486% with respect to carbon footprint.
