Abstract

We hear a lot about the high CO2 levels that cars produce, but did you know the construction industry makes up 8 percent of the world’s total emissions?

Now, that may not seem like an enormous number, but let us put it into perspective…

Currently, a staggering 4 BILLION tons of cement is produced every single year…

According to Yet-Ming Chiang, the Kyocera Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT, the number of buildings worldwide is expected to double by 2060, which is equivalent to building one new New York City every 30 days.
There is however a solution, and in this short video we discuss what it is, how helps and what you can do to encourage its use in the industry on a wider level!
