Environmentally friendly concrete…!

Concrete accounts for 5% human CO2 emissions

What amazes me about this is the numbers involved – 5% of human caused emissions of CO2 are coming from concrete production! Who knows this? -We talk about switching light bulbs off, taking the train instead of flying if possible, but who thinks twice when laying foundations for a new home…?

Really great also to see science attempting to rise to the challenge, and even better to see companies like Carbon Sense Solutions in Canada working on not only reducing, but sequestering – locking away CO2 in wet cement – these sorts of revolutionary but simple solutions have to be the most constructive and positive ways forward. Not increasing the problem, not being ‘neutral’ in the problem, but actually countering the problem.
