Abstract This article investigated the cradle‐to‐gate environmental impact of granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) produced in steel industry and replacement (BF) (50%) place clinker Portland cement using GaBi software (Indian extension database). In case GBFS production, maximum burden on environment is due to BF production amount electricity consumed (161 MJ/ton) during granulation process. The influence sources was studied via scenario analysis. For investigation, solar thermal mixes were considered 50:50 75:25 ratios. ratios, abiotic depletion potential (fossil), acidification, eutrophication, global warming, human toxicity show a decreasing trend approximately 45%, 49%, 48%, 46%, 41%, respectively. analysis transportation (from 100 750 km) demonstrates negative fuel. results quantitatively confirm that addition can lower overall for construction industries.
