Rapid industrialization increases the energy demand tremendously, resulting in a large quantity of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere. This is considered the most critical factor for global climatic change. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, these changes cause extreme rainfall, catastrophic fires, more frequent and strong hurricanes/cyclones etc. Significant emissions are contributed by coal, oil, gas, cement, and flaring industries. About 7-8% of CO2 emissions is attributed to the cement industry, and India contributes to 7% of the total global CO2 emissions. There are different approaches available to reduce the carbon footprint of construction industry. One of the key approaches is to mineralize (in stable forms) atmospheric CO¬2 in construction materials. However, the potential of a material to capture CO2 and the extent of mineralization depends on its composition and environmental condition. This research focuses on the potential of CO2 mineralization in red mud, which is a byproduct of aluminium manufacturing industry. The alkaline nature of red mud prevents its widespread utilization, causing issues associated with its storage and disposal. The study aims to explore the influence of additives to enhance the mineralization potential of red mud. Additionally, mineralized red mud could act as a novel supplementary cementitious material. Hence, a study on the performance of mineralized red mud in different cementitious systems is proposed.
