Abstract
The “Strategy for the development of the construction industry until 2030 and for the future until 2035” developed by the Ministry of Construction of Russia indicates that one of the goals of construction development for this future is to reduce the carbon footprint from the impact of the construction industry on the environment. The article analyzes the factors that allow the main building material – concrete to make a significant contribution to reducing the carbon footprint in relation to the environment. Examples of European practices in solving this problem are given, the need for appropriate research work is indicated regarding the assessment of the impact of cement and concrete production on increasing the carbon footprint, the development of methods to solve this problem and taking this factor into account for practical needs.
