Abstract: Considering that CO2 curing for concrete can achieve high-value utilization and sequestration of CO2, the life cycle environmental impact assessment of CO2-cured concrete was studied here. Based on experimental investigations in existing literatures, datasets of the life cycle environmental impacts for CO2-cured concrete were established, and then the carbon emissions were calculated. Based on the Monte Carlo simulation method, the uncertainty analysis of the influence of carbon emission coefficient of raw materials on the calculation results of environmental net benefit was studied. The results indicated that carbon emissions from the production process of cement and the curing process of concrete are key factors affecting the environmental benefits of CO2-cured concrete. The results of uncertainty analysis showed that, among the 120 datasets, 21 datasets would produce positive environmental net benefits, and the other 99 datasets would produce negative environmental net benefits. Increasing CO2 curing time or gas pressure could enhance the amount of CO2 captured by concrete, but it could also increase the energy consumption of carbonation equipment, leading to excessive carbon emissions during the production process of CO2-cured concrete. Excessive CO2 curing time, high pressure and the resulted reduction of mechanical properties of concrete can lead to negative environmental net benefits of CO2-cured concrete. Thus, based the calculation results in this work, it is recommended to use atmospheric pressure CO2 curing for a duration of less than 6 h.
