nlmtd (DK)’s Post

Is there a new blue star on the construction horizon? Our colleague Tabea Nafz attended Building Green DK event this week, which showcased many interesting perspectives on where the building sector is heading. While recycled and “greener” land-based materials were all around, an alternative blue biomass caught her interest. Bio-based regenerative materials from the ocean such as seaweed and seagrass possess unique ‘fire-proof’ and insulation functionalities while at the same time absorbing carbon from the atmosphere and increasing biodiversity in our oceans. The link between sustainability & performance as a necessity in order to scale, was one key takeaways from the panel debate around “Build with blue biomass”. Rumors spread that the Copenhagen metro line M5 which has a CO2 reduction target of 50% compared to the M4 might introduce some of these new materials to reach their sustainability goals. 👀🚉 Tabea Nafz shared to nlmtd (DK) how was nice it was to see that the talks are shifting from only focusing on climate to more emphasis on biodiversity. An interesting panel debate by idverde DK “Naturen i byen 2050” tackled the topic of how we can invite nature back into our (city) lives. While there are many different paths, one thing is for sure: We need to prioritize space for nature to grow! We cannot wait to see a more green Copenhagen with buildings based on new, regenerative materials where people can re-connect back to their surroundings, both to nature and people! 🌱🌊🏢 #futureproofcities #humanisinginnovation #buildinggreen
