I’m proud to say that this week, Ramboll has released a golden triangle of initiatives on embodied carbon in construction: ✅ Measure outcomes and share data to inform the market: This week, Ramboll released version 2 of CO2mpare, sharing carbon data on actual projects transparently with the public. It’s a great resource for interactive benchmarking of carbon in buildings. https://lnkd.in/e4wWXGDP ✅ Establish the market drivers: Ramboll’s latest report was released this week signaling a significant appetite to pay for lower emission materials - market drivers Headline stats: 👉 For steel, 45% of respondents say that they are willing to pay a premium for CO2 reductions exceeding 25%, and 👉 57% would be willing to pay a premium for CO2 reductions exceeding 50% Similarly, for concrete, 40% of respondents say that they are willing to pay a premium for CO2 reductions exceeding 25%, and 49% would be willing to pay a premium for CO2 reductions exceeding 50% Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/eyecKqWR ✅ Develop the supply chain and demonstrate new products with an aim to update standards: Fantastic project funded by Innovate UK with John Sisk & Son Ltd , Ramboll and others pouring actual low carbon concrete mixes that are scalable, with a plan to transition towards less constrained resources #Decarbonisation #Greentransition #ParisAgreement #ClimateWeekNY2024

🌍 Why Infrastructure Durability Matters More Than Ever🏗️ In today's fast-paced construction environment, the focus often shifts to speed and cost-efficiency, but long-term durability remains a critical factor that often gets overlooked. 🛠️ The challenge is no longer ensuring structures withstand the test of time. With roads, bridges, and other infrastructure facing constant stress from moisture, temperature changes, and de-icing salts, concrete protection is no longer an optional add-on. It's a necessity. At Alchemco, we believe that the best solutions go beyond surface protection. Our subsurface waterproofing technologies penetrate deep within the concrete. This approach significantly extends the lifespan of structures, minimizing costly repairs. With sustainability driving modern construction, it's time to shift our mindset from quick fixes to durable, lasting solutions. Let's build structures that will serve communities for generations to come. 💬 What trends are you seeing in construction durability? How are you addressing the need for longevity in your projects? Let’s discuss! #InfrastructureDurability #WaterproofingTechnology #SustainableBuilding #InfrastructureSolutions #Alchemco #TechCrete2500

At CarbiCrete, we're helping to create a more #sustainable #construction industry with cement-free #concrete. We're thrilled to see new codes being brought forward to bring structure to the reduction of #embodiedcarbon in #construction. The publication of ACI 323, a #lowcarbon concrete code put forth by the American Concrete Institute, is an excellent step forward for private and public construction companies looking to incorporate #sustainable #innovation into their projects. We look forward to seeing more from ACI, including the publication of ACI 242 reports, which include input from our own Mehrdad Mahoutian, Ph.D., P.Eng.

In this issue, we at BuildChem Tribune are thrilled to delve into a topic of paramount importance in the construction chemicals industry: Roof Waterproofing. This focus aligns seamlessly with our ongoing commitment to sustainability, energy saving, and durability—values that are increasingly critical in today's fast-evolving world. Emerging trends and technologies in roof waterproofing are shaping the future of construction. From high-performance membranes and eco-friendly coatings to advanced application techniques, the industry is witnessing a paradigm shift towards materials and methods that offer long-term protection, environmental benefits, and cost savings. The integration of green roofs and solar panels with waterproofing systems exemplifies this trend, highlighting the industry's role in promoting renewable energy and biodiversity in urban spaces. The global market for construction chemicals is evolving, with a growing emphasis on products that meet stringent environmental standards and specifications. Regulatory frameworks and building codes are increasingly favoring materials that contribute to green building certifications, such as LEED and BREEAM. This shift underscores the importance of innovation and adaptation among manufacturers and practitioners aiming to stay ahead in a competitive landscape. The future of roof waterproofing is inextricably linked to the broader goals of sustainability, energy efficiency, and durability in the construction sector. As editors of BuildChem Tribune, we are committed to highlighting these connections, fostering dialogue among industry leaders, and showcasing innovative solutions that will drive the industry forward. Together, we can build a more sustainable, resilient, and efficient future for the construction chemicals industry and beyond. Enjoy your reading.

Concrete is currently the structural backbone of the construction industry—and it’s time we make it sustainable. ZERO is committed to revolutionizing how we approach construction, and that means tackling emissions from concrete head-on. Solutions like Cemvision’s industrial residual binders and graphene-enhanced concrete are leading the charge toward a net-zero future. These innovations don’t just reduce carbon—they redefine what’s possible in construction. It’s time to take action. Together, we can build a future that works for the planet and the people on it. #NetZero #ConstructionInnovation #Sustainability Let’s get concrete—what will you do to make a difference?

As part of the Contracts for Innovation: Decarbonising Concrete competition, Innovate UK has decided to fund a demonstrator project using our ACT #LowCarbon cement technology on a live job site at Wembley Park, UK. We warmly welcome this investment in advancing a low-carbon future for construction and look forward to demonstrating ACT’s performance 👏 To drive meaningful change in #SustainableConstruction, advancing these kinds of technologies requires government and policy support as well as funding - kudos to #InnovateUK for their vision and support. We are working as part of a consortium alongside John Sisk & Son Ltd, Ramboll Group, Loughborough University, Creagh Concrete, Capital Concrete, and BRE Group, to demonstrate the potential of this technology at a live construction site in Wembley Park. This project marks a world-first application of ACT #technology and is a pivotal step toward transforming the way we build. John Reddy, our Director of Concrete Technology Deployment, said: “Since embodied CO2 in construction is 11% of all global emissions, and clinker, the critical ingredient in cement, generates 65% of these, finding ways to reduce emissions from cement and concrete is critical. We have assembled a great delivery team of experts under the leadership of Sisk and our consortium will demonstrate that rapid decarbonisation of the cement and concrete industry is possible now, using ACT Technology which brings new thinking to existing proven materials and processes. This funding from Innovate UK is a very welcome investment in delivering a low carbon future for construction and a great example of how governments can take the lead in scaling innovation and enabling decarbonisation.” Read more in his recently authored blog, here: https://lnkd.in/drYwXkaR #FutureOfCement #Cement #Concrete #Innovation #Collaboration #NetZero #WeAreSisk | Innovate UK Contracts for Innovation

Exciting Announcement for Construction Industry Leaders! 🏗 Are you ready to revolutionize your construction projects with cutting-edge technology? Our team is interested to make copilot cooperation/products with construction companies utilizing lightweight concrete in their projects. At the heart of our offering is our groundbreaking product: HYP (green hydrogen powder). When added into cement and mixed with water, it transforms into ultra-strong concrete mix that sets faster, achieving maximum strength more quickly and providing adhesion to metal and glass 4 times higher than regular CEM. But that's not all. No need for heating or additional substances — simply add water! In comparison to regular aerated concrete with aluminum powder (PAP-1 and PAP-2), our mix with HYP is cheaper by 20%. Ready to experience the future of construction firsthand? We're offering samples of our product and are eager to initiate copilot projects with forward-thinking construction companies. Let's build a stronger, more efficient and greener future together! 💪✨ #Sustainability #Innovation #Collaboration #CleanTech #greenhydrogen #H2 #hydrogen #concrete #construction #SustainableFuture
