Paving the way for sustainable construction with net-zero concrete As a forward-thinker, the Swedish contruction company Skanska has chosen to build with evoZero, the world's first carbon captured net-zero cement. As evoZero is setting a new standard in the construction industry, our customers can be at the forefront of sustainable construction, accelerating the transition across the whole value chain.
Good to know
“As Australia continues to push towards a sustainable future, the adoption of green concrete is a crucial step in achieving its decarbonisation goals. By embracing this innovative and environmentally friendly construction material, Australia can not only reduce its carbon footprint but also create a more sustainable and resilient built environment” – while this is an older article, the sentiment remains true and it’s fantastic to see the progress already made in this area, and the efforts to continue into the future. It’s always wonderful to see the attention that Australian industry is placing on being more environmentally aware 🌿 - there are excellent alternatives when you know where to look for them!

Buildings are monument to the values of the people who build them. I am so proud to have the first commercial installation of Sublime Cement in the largest net-zero-carbon office building in Boston, at WS Development's One Boston Wharf. In the future we won’t need to designate net-zero-carbon buildings because it will be the norm. But it takes bold thinkers to move us into that future, and it was an honor to work with Yanni Tsipis on this, as someone who just “gets it.” Last week a consortium of Boston area architects, engineers, and builders from the Carbon Leadership Forum unveiled a report on what it takes to decarbonize concrete, and two things stood out to me as critical: --> Clear carbon reduction goals starting with the building owner --> Collaboration across the many players in the construction ecosystem who aren’t traditionally used to thinking about how they buy cement. This project perfectly exemplified both, thanks to incredible collaborators who made this happen, across Turner Construction Company, BOSTON SAND & GRAVEL CO, S&F Concrete Contractors, Corp, Gensler, and McNamara • Salvia, Structural Engineers.

It takes bold, forward-thinking innovators to move us into our post-carbon future. That’s not just the inventors of technology, but those responsible for its adoption and implementation. Their choice to do the daring thing today will enable low-carbon, climate-friendly technologies to become the standard choice. We were honored to work with one such innovator, Yanni Tsipis of WS Development on the first commercial installation of Sublime Cement™ in their new One Boston Wharf building earlier this month. Thank you to Canary Media Inc.’s Jeff St. John for taking a closer look at how it all came together, alongside partners Turner Construction Company, S&F Concrete Contractors, Corp, and BOSTON SAND & GRAVEL CO.

Material choice and good design play a major role in construction's sustainability credentials. Before low-carbon cement technology becomes more widespread, engineers, designers, and builders can use construction materials more efficiently and choose products with lower embodied carbon—that is, carbon emissions released during the life cycle of building materials, from extraction through to disposal. https://bityl.co/PkNF
Decarbonizing Construction | Finding Solutions Along the Cement Value Chain While decarbonizing the operational emissions of buildings often takes center stage, the embodied emissions from construction materials receive less attention. One of the biggest challenges in this area is decarbonizing concrete, where most of the emissions come from the manufacturing of its key ingredient, cement. However, the CO2-saving potential extends far beyond just the cement producer, involving solutions such as using lower-carbon materials, improving structural efficiency, and optimizing the overall construction process. Future Cleantech Architects is working on a Cement Value Chain to provide an overview of the various CO2-saving solutions across the entire construction value chain which will put everything in perspective. Stay tuned for its release coming next week!

Sustainable, material-efficient and fast installation onsite. These were the main reasons why German hybrid construction specialist Brüninghoff' chose Kerto®LVL for their prefabricated non-load-bearing wall elements for their concrete element plant. With our Carbon Storage Calculator, you can also easily calculate how much our products store carbon. In Brüninghoff'’s case, using Kerto LVL, the factory stores carbon a total of 165.8 tonnes of CO2eq. Read more about sustainable construction with Kerto LVL: https://lnkd.in/d-KbfKgg
