Sustainable Concrete
Solution:
Captured CO₂ is injected into fresh concrete during manufacturing, where it reacts with cement to transform into a mineral that strengthens the concrete. The mineralized CO₂ is locked away and will never be released into the atmosphere, even if the concrete is demolished.
IMPACT:
Concrete is among the world's most consumed materials - second only to water. That's because its durability, affordability, and availability make it essential to countless construction projects, from bridges, to roads, to buildings. It is forecast by 2050 that 1370Mt CO₂ will be captured and utilised/stored. Source: Global Cement and Concrete Association.
