In modern construction concrete is very expensive and popular material where cement is the main composite. Every year we are producing billion tons of concrete. Production of cement is responsible for too much of CO2 production, in other words it is also responsible for global warming. Mostly India is facing the problem of pollution. Researchers have done a great job and found many ways to replace cement. For making geopolymer concrete by products of different industries may be used like. Fly ash, rice husk. In this investigation geopolymer concrete is prepared with GGBS. GGBS is a by-product of steel industry. It holds the coarse and fine aggregates in the matrix. In this investigation geopolymer concrete is prepared with GGBS and advantages and disadvantages are also investigated. It was an observation that it has good results over other concrete. GGBS is a good replacement of cement and it will help in reducing the production of CO2. as a result of this global warming can be reduced. Keywords: GGBS, Slag, Aggregates, Slump, Geo Polymer
