The production of concrete is a significant source of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that contribute to climate change. Many technical solutions exist for reducing emissions along the concrete supply chain. However, wide scale adoption of these technologies is hindered by a market failure 鈥 ...
The detailed map of the contemporary cement and concrete cycle and associated-CO2fluxes shown in Fig.1offers insights into intervention opportunities for emission mitigation. In 2019, 284 million metric tons (Mt) of concrete and mortar (hereinafter referred to as concrete, for simplicity) were produ...
At the United Nations Climate Change Conference or COP27 Sharm El-Sheikh, Indonesia voiced various actions, strategies, innovations and achievements as a concrete manifestation of leading climate action to prevent global temperature increases. Through soft diplomacy, the Pavilion Indonesia displays the pol...
The BMW Group is the first automotive manufacturer to set itself concrete targets for reducing CO2 emissions in its supply chain by 2030. In addition to the use of green power for the energy-intensive production of fifth-generation battery cells, further measur...
coal combustion ash, and paper waste. We evaluate the CO2reduction potential to reveal promising materials and industries. We found that 4.2 Mt CO2can be directly sequestered annually. Moreover, the use of alternative materials in the cement and concrete industries can indirectly facilitate CO2sequest...
Second, if it were merely about signaling, with the government failing to take substantive action thereafter, we would expect to observe a more “abrupt” effect that potentially fades as citizens and businesses come to realize that the government’s intentions are not followed by concrete measures...
Reduce concrete CO2 emissions by up to 40% with Connovate's innovative solution. Explore how Connovate CemCut replaces cement in concrete to support climate targets.
The purpose is to support the adoption of emission-free transport and loading equipment solutions in the industry. The cement and concrete industries are responsible for around 8 per cent of the planet’s carbon emissions. Finding ways to reduce its climate impact is vit...
using captured CO2as a raw material. It would be a concrete example of the transition towards a circular economy and of how significant CO2emission reductions could be achieved by utilizing existing resources and closing loops. This would be an important step fo...
