Properties, durability, carbon footprint, and cost analysis were studied on it. Mixtures using a sodium hydroxide concentration of 8M and the additive calcium hydroxide show the best performance and the lowest carbon footprint. Simulations using a carbon tax of 0.0347\ Euro/kg show no influence on the cost of the mixtures while the use of the carbon tax of 0.206\ Euro/kg show an increase in the cost-efficiency of mixtures, even those using a sodium hydroxide concentration of 8M and additive calcium hydroxide.
