With the implementation of the strategic goal of “carbon peak and carbon neutrality” and the concept of “energy saving and environmental protection”, the energy-saving preparation and application of high performance water reducer based on green materials instead of petrochemical raw materials and novel technologies have achieved significant progress and rapid development, showing great application potential. Therefore, in this paper, the advantages of concrete high performance water reducer prepared from green preparation and low energy consumption process were systematically reviewed, and the chemical methods and technical principles were summarized, the application effects were analyzed, and its future application and development of green and energy-saving chemical admixtures were also prospected. This paper provides a theoretical guidance for the research and development of green and energy-saving preparation methods of concrete high performance water reducer materials.
