Carbon Sequestration Technology for Vegetated Concrete Road Embankments

Abstract

With the rapid development of our country’s economy, environmental issues have increasingly come to the forefront. In the field of slope protection engineering, traditional methods often harm the ecological environment, making the promotion of ecological civilization particularly important. Vegetated concrete, a novel slope protection material, not only safeguards slopes but also fosters ecological restoration and preservation. However, there remains a lack of systematic research on the design and application of vegetated concrete, highlighting the need for more in-depth exploration and practical implementation. This discussion analyzes ecological slopes through the lenses of the fundamental concepts and structural characteristics of vegetated concrete, vegetated concrete slope protection technology, common ecological slopes, carbon sequestration techniques in vegetated concrete slopes, and the sources of carbon emissions.
