There's a variety of different approaches being taken to decarbonise concrete. At Concrete4Change, we've taken the approach of developing novel technology to mineralise CO2 into the cement in concrete. In doing so, Concrete4Change's technology presents the most innovative, effective and easy-to-adopt approach for utilising CO2 in concrete. Concrete can be the safest carbon sink in the world, and Concrete4Change is leading the way for exploiting this potential, taking the complexity away from the industry and providing a bespoke solution that accelerates the transition to a cleaner, greener future for concrete. Check out the video below for an in-depth explanation of the technology, its differentiation and potential impact

Check out the video we've made at Concrete4Change, explaining our technology, how it's different, and why we've taken this approach. We're on a mission to turn an emission problem into an emission solution - find out how we're going about it below!

Ecocem is delighted to be part of a consortium of industry partners that has been successful in securing £500,000 from Innovate UK funding as part of the ‘Contracts for Innovation: Decarbonising Concrete’ competition. The consortium led by John Sisk & Son Ltd features leading experts within Ecocem, Ramboll Group, Loughborough University, Creagh Concrete, Capital Concrete Ltd and BRE who will collaborate on a pioneering, scalable, low carbon demonstrator at Wembley Park in London. The project is a world first application of a new low carbon concrete technology by Ecocem called ACT, a breakthrough cement technology combining a range of technical innovations with the use of widely available low-carbon ingredients to decarbonise the production of cement by as much as 70%, while enhancing the strength and durability of the concrete. John Reddy, Director of Concrete Technology Deployment at Ecocem, commented: “Since embodied CO2 in construction is 11% of all global emissions, and clinker, the critical ingredient in cement, generates two-thirds of these, finding ways to reduce emissions from cement and concrete is critical. ACT Technology brings new thinking and innovation to existing proven materials and processes.” See our blog for more information: https://lnkd.in/ej2Xvxix #FutureOfCement #LowCarbonCement #Decarbonisation  #DecarbonisingConstruction #AvoidedEmissions #EmbodiedCarbon #ClimateAction

📢 Last week, ConcreteZero (Climate Group) published our report “Classification methodology for embodied carbon of concrete”. ✅ This document, prepared by Fragkoulis Kanavaris and Bruce Martin, coordinates the Market Benchmark, developed by the LCCG, with the Universal Classification, developed by Arup, and the Global Banding, developed by the GCCA – Global Cement and Concrete Association. 💡 The static and dynamic benchmarks form a powerful combination. The static benchmarks can be used to define a pathway to net zero. The pathway can be used in conjunction with the dynamic Market Benchmark to specify concrete that meets the pathway and is commercially available for the proposed use. Is this something that solves a challenge in your business? Let us know what you think! #concrete #netzero #embodiedcarbon #methodology

Last month, $1.2 billion was awarded in grants to accelerate the use of cleaner asphalt, #concrete, glass, and steel in the #UnitedStates. With the production of #cement, concrete's key ingredient, accounting for over 7% of all global #emissions each year, funding like this is crucial for advancing #innovation in the sector. At CarbiCrete, we're producing concrete that contains no cement and helps to remove #CO2 from the atmosphere permanently. We're proud to be contributing to the transformation of concrete, the world's most-used manmade #material.

Concrete is the most widely used substance on the planet after water, having a great importance in our everyday lives. While concrete plays a crucial role in our infrastructure, its production has historically posed challenges to our environment and health. Cement, a key ingredient in concrete, plays a major role in these challenges. Although it constitutes only 10-15% of concrete’s mass, it is responsible for up to 90% of its greenhouse gas emissions. To put it into perspective: If the cement industry were a country, it would rank as the world's 5th-largest emitter of greenhouse gases! Despite these challenges, the necessity of concrete is unquestionable. This drives the exciting and innovative search for sustainable alternatives. Leading the charge are companies like Sublime Systems, Brimstone , and Biomason, pioneering low-carbon solutions. At Accacia, we recognize the importance of sustainable construction practices. By leveraging AI, we empower businesses with data-driven strategies that accelerate their journey to net-zero emissions :) We envision a future where our infrastructure remains robust, but our impact on the planet is significantly reduced. #pollution #realestate #climateaction #sustainability #climatechange
