Presentation Information:

Building materials and construction account for approximately 11% of annual global CO₂ emissions. In order to shrink the carbon footprint of new buildings, embodied carbon must be reduced. Jessica Wilson, CarbonCure Technologies, will be presenting an overview of global emissions challenges, will review the carbon reduction goals of green building programs, and will discuss how the cement and concrete industry can use innovative CO₂ mineralization technology to reduce embodied carbon while increasing performance.
