Concrete is extensively used in the construction industry due to its high strength andendurance. However its also a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, both directly andindirectly. The objective of this research work is to limit it, by developing a cement mortar mixthat can use material other then cement without affecting strength and life span of concretestructures. As the calcination process can not be replaced. Therefore to reduce the atmosphericCO2 production, Sodium Zeolite is added to conrete mix in amount of 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% byweight of cement to mortar which would help reduce its CO2 signature. Moreover, cement mortarhas heavy weight and has higher compressive strength. Therefor efforts are made to use suchmaterial to make mortar lighter and to have comparable binding strength. The compression testswere perforemed on four different composition samples with varying percentages of SodiumZeolite to investigate its effectiveness.
