What is it?
Carbon Removal Concrete is a type of concrete that is designed to actively remove and sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere during its production and/or use.
Why is it important?
The construction industry is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, responsible for approximately 40% of total emissions. Carbon Removal Concrete can assist by capturing and storing atmospheric CO2 within the concrete, reducing the overall carbon footprint of the industry. By incorporating captured CO2 into the concrete, Carbon Removal Concrete promotes a more circular economy, where waste and emissions are reused and repurposed, rather than being released into the environment. Carbon Removal Concrete aligns with the growing demand for sustainable and environmentally-friendly construction materials, contributing to the overall sustainability of the built environment. The carbon-capturing properties of Carbon Removal Concrete can enhance the durability and longevity of concrete structures, improving their resilience to environmental stresses and extending their lifespan.
