2024 roundup - January 📅🌱 We started the year off strong with the achievement of our new step in lowering the CO2e emissions of our aluminium profiles. We're able to confirm with an independently verified EPD that the Hydro CIRCAL 75R aluminium we use for all of our products as standard in the UK contains just 1.9 CO2e emissions per kg of aluminium (compared to 2.3kg CO2e/kg of Al). With every step towards decarbonisation we take, we are lowering the environmental impact the building and construction market has on the planet.

Energy demand and emissions from the building and construction sector represent over a fifth of global emissions, as found by the UN in its report 'Not yet built for purpose.' https://bit.ly/4dS3u1o The sector needs to embrace new materials to reverse the concerning trend of increasing emissions. Portland cement - widely used in construction is responsible for 9% of global CO2 emissions. Partanna has pioneered a carbon negative sustainable binder to replace Portland cement, it's being embraced by the built environment on a global scale. Want to know how much carbon you could avoid or remove for construction projects? Try our brand new carbon calculator. Choose the carbon-negative products you need from Partanna - pavers, CMUs or concrete and enter the quantity. Our calculator will show you the average CO2 you can remove and avoid and the equivalent CO2 capture of trees. Discover the impact you could have here: https://lnkd.in/ddTHN3PG #carboncredits #concrete #sustainableconstruction

Incorporating the Effect of Carbonation in Concrete Life Cycle Assessment The effect of greenhouse gas emissions on the atmosphere is a hotly debated topic. Within this debate, there is a specific focus on the role of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Concrete has been the target of much criticism as a source of CO2 emissions. Much of this criticism reflects a lack of understanding of the difference between cement and concrete as a building product. https://bityl.co/OQ8L

Concrete giants rejoice! A new Northwestern University-led process tackles CO2 emissions and strengthens concrete at the same time. By using a simple, carbonated water solution during mixing, researchers achieved a 45% CO2 capture rate without sacrificing strength. This innovative approach could be a game-changer for sustainable construction, offering a path to reduce the cement industry's hefty 8% share of global greenhouse gas emissions. #climateaction #quickread #sustainableconstruction

Cement is the prime element of concrete, holding everything from the smallest homes to the tallest skyscrapers. It paves our roads and builds our dams, making modern life possible. But here’s a catch: cement production is one of the largest industrial sources of CO2 emissions worldwide. In this article, learn more about the impacts of traditional cement on our planet and explore how the next generation of sustainable cement can lead us to a greener tomorrow.
