Environmental assessment was performed according to the EU PEF method for three types of cement that emit large GHG emissions. The results were calculated as an eco-point. As a result, Portland Cement has the highest eco-point of 1.17E-01. This is due to the fact that the global warming effect of Portland cement is significantly higher than those of other cements. However, eco-cement had the highest particulate matter effect. The replacement of calcium sulfate is necessary for reducing the particulate matter effect of eco-cement.
