Startups and more established suppliers of products that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete are developing systems to capture and sequester carbon dioxide. Some are even seeking ways to produce the material and its ingredients without creating huge carbon footprints.With cement production accounting for nearly 8% of global CO2 emissions, and a growing demand for concrete, adding low-carbon alternatives to the cement-making process can have high returns in meeting emissions goal...

In total, 15 pioneering businesses have made the public commitment, which includes ambitious short-term commitments to use 30% low emission concrete by 2025 and 50% by 2030. The ConcreteZero pledge is the brainchild of international non-profit Climate Group, in partnership with World GBC and WBCSD. Concrete production contributes 8% of global annual carbon emissions. The concrete industry transitioning to net zero is vital to halving carbon emissions by 2030 and keeping within reach the goal t...

BioBased tiles are a new sustainable building material being used to create sustainable facades for buildings. They replace traditional building materials and lower carbon emissions. Along with their sister product WasteBasedBricks from StoneCycling, BioBased tiles can be used to build structures that are stronger than traditional buildings, while significantly reducing waste. The problem is that traditional cement production accounts for 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions. Meanwhile, the wo...
