👷 Following the great interest I received on a recent post about the role of carbon dioxide removal (hashtag#CDR) in construction, I wrote up a detailed article featured in today’s Carbonfuture Magazine: “Building a Greener Future: How Carbon Removal and Policy Will Decarbonize Construction sector.”
🏗️ The buildings and construction sector contributes over a third of global greenhouse gas emissions with concrete itself representing 7%, many of which are hard to abate.
🔒 That’s where CDR can come in. Thankfully a number of highly innovative companies have emerged using a variety of technologies to permanently store CO₂ in concrete, asphalt, and other building materials.
🤩 Companies I highlight in the articleinclude:
neustark, Paebbl, CarbonCure Technologies, ecoLocked, CarStorCon® Technologies GmbH, Solid Carbon, and Verde Resources Inc..
🏛️ Scaling up these solutions will only be possible with supportive policy. I dig deep into the three I believe to have the greatest potential:
💹 EU ETS
💰 Public Procurement
⚠️ Building Regulations
