Quantifying the global warming potential of low carbon concrete …
In this study, a set of unique low-carbon concrete and paste mixes were analyzed via multiple complementary techniques. We validate that achieving high early strength is possible using low w/c ratios. Specifically, 1-day strengths comparable to OPC can be achieved in a 55% SCM concrete mix by adopting a very low w/c ratio of 0.2.

There is no absolute value given in published standards that limits these values. However, results based on past research indicate that if the methylene blue value is below 1 g/kg, there is no negative effect on concrete strength; a high sand equivalent value for fine aggregate indicates a positive effect on concrete properties [27], [28].
