The UN has acknowledged that the process, over the life of concrete elements, absorbs a proportion of the process CO2 emissions released during cement production, and estimates ~200 million tonnes of carbon are absorbed worldwide annually by this โcement carbonation sinkโ. Estimating the associated re-carbonation of CO2 emissions from the atmosphere is possible when the structureโs entire lifecycle is considered. A Concrete Sustainability tool developed by MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub researchers can help with these estimates. The tool can be downloaded here:ย https://bityl.co/KmQh Ps.

Demolished concrete: a new home for #CO2 emissions? ๐ก๐ซง ๐ฌ Join Lisa Braune on a virtual site visit of our CO2 storage site and watch SWI swissinfo.ch break down our complex #mineralization process. Worldwide, more than 30 billion tons of #concrete are used every year. At neustark, we have developed a solution to durably store - and thus durably remove excessive CO2 from the air - in mineral waste streams such as demolition concrete. All whilst accelerating the #decarbonization of the build environment with our recycling partners such as Holcim. ๐๏ธ Our goal is to remove 1 million tons of CO2 in 2030. ๐ While this might only cover a fraction of what's needed to reach #netzero by 2050, it is a crucial step to scale #carbonremoval at the speed and scope we need. ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ

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 concreteโs 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

๐ฑ How can the Cement and Concrete sector play its part in halting and reversing #NatureLoss by 2030? ๐งฑ Concrete is the second most consumed material in the world after water - and with no scalable substitutes currently available, it is a critical construction material for society. Whilst the sector is a building block of the global economy, it also has significant impacts on nature. Priority actions and opportunities include: ๐ Improving water stewardship across the value chain ๐ Adopting technologies and manufacturing practices to reduce greenhouse gas and airborne emissions ๐ Continuing to strengthen reclamation and rehabilitation approaches as well as biodiversity management of quarries ๐ Improving land stewardship on occupied land ๐ Expanding circularity efforts across the value chain ๐ Innovating to offer products that support the transition to #NaturePositive To support this transition, World Economic Forum and Oliver Wyman have produced clear sector-specific guidance that businesses should take now to ensure the Cement and Concrete sector plays its role in halting and reversing nature loss by 2030. ๐ Find out more: https://lnkd.in/e7eMzt3Y

Global demand for cement presents both challenges and opportunities for conscientious practices. As urbanization expands, so does cement production, leading to significant impacts due to carbon emissions and resource depletion. However, this pattern also opens up possibilities for innovation in durable building materials and practices. The industry is witnessing a move to low-carbon alternatives, material recycling and technological advances. Circular economy principles and technologies such as carbon capture further align the industry with global sustainability goals, but beyond the alternatives lies the need for responsible building awareness and incentives for green practices that can encourage a more conscious approach. This balance between meeting construction needs and environmental control reflects a broader commitment to sustainable development, and highlights the importance of collaborative efforts across sectors to achieve a greener outlook. #sustainabilitygoals #greenbuilding #constructionindustry #cementindustry #circulareconomy #carboncapture #urbanization #innovation #ecofriendly

During my time in the real estate industry I always felt that the impact but also possible value of #performancematerials regarding total cost of ownership and emissions throughout the lifecycle got massively neglected! Especially, in the context of sustainability materials (particularly #concrete and #steel) can play such a vital role and even serve as a permanent #CO2sink.
A new study finds that using concrete as a carbon sink could capture two gigatonnes of CO2 per year, equivalent to 77% of annual emissions from cement production around the world. The white paper by sustainability consultant Tunley Environmental notes that carbonation of concrete also boosts its compressive strength. We are glad to see this validation of CarbonCureโs commercialized technologies for lower carbon concrete - CarbonCure Ready Mix and CarbonCure Reclaimed Water - and in particular the opportunity for our recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) technology, now in advanced development in our lab.

๐ฟ From Nature to Building Sustainably ๐ Introducing Our Circular Construction Solutions Our fully circular construction materials can turn any building into a carbon sink. Storing -1.2 kg CO2/kg, our materials are made from biomass/bio-waste that, if left to decompose, would release CO2 back into the atmosphere. ๐ฟโก๏ธ๐จ Using pyrolysis, the stored CO2 is stabilized and can be processed into bricks and blocks. ๐ฅโก๏ธ๐งฑ Our process involves binding biochar with bio-based binders to create a sustainable alternative to traditional construction materials. End-of-life for our materials is just as green. They can be shredded and re-used or turned back into biochar to improve soil health. โป๏ธ This circular approach ensures no CO2 release even at disposal. "Our vision is to revolutionize construction for a sustainable future," says Dr. Frank Gommer, Managing Director of Composite Designers Ltd, ๐๐ ๏ธ โand we are currently working on scaling up with an industrial process similar to how bricks are made today.โ Interested in learning more or collaborating?

๐ฑ๐๏ธ Can we unlock a future where we rely less on primary raw materials and transform concrete into a carbon sink? ๐ก #SEMBLAยฎ is at the forefront of regenerative building practices, embracing innovative solutions. We are working on new concretes that contain pozzolanic materials, carbon sinks like #biochar, or carbonated construction demolition waste. #Biochar is a game-changer โ especially in prefab geopolymer concrete building elements! Here's why: โ Using the biogenic carbon cycle: The main job of #CO2 removal is done by plants and trees. They convert CO2 from the atmosphere into precious sugars via photosynthesis, which is ultimately converted into biomass. โ Carbon Sequestration: Carbon Sequestration: Biomass residues (e.g., from agriculture) undergo a thermal decomposition process known as pyrolysis. This oxygen-free process ensures carbon is secured in biochar, preventing its release as CO2. Essentially, biochar is a product of the accelerated biogenic carbon cycle, acting as a potent #carbonsink to combat climate change by effectively locking in CO2. โ Combining Biochar and Geopolymers: Geopolymer concrete already has a reduced environmental impact compared to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) concrete. This impact can be further reduced or even turned positive when biochar is incorporated into #geopolymer concrete. โ Improved Material Properties: Biochar-based materials not only have a reduced carbon footprint, but they also show improved properties like increased #strength & #durability, reduced shrinkage & cracking, enhanced workability, and reduced weight compared to materials without biochar. โ โฏCarbon storage meets Circular Design: The carbon stored in biochar-geopolymer concrete elements should not be lost after a few years. Circular design is imperative to secure long-lasting carbon retention in durable building elements, making #regenerative construction a present-day reality! ๐ Ready to dive deeper into the future of sustainable construction with #SEMBLAยฎ?
