Alternative materials, including construction and demolition waste, can result in much lower CO 2 emissions than concrete made in the traditional method, as well as reduce the need to use virgin raw materials. Innovation can help further unlock the delivery of low carbon concrete by reducing the amount of clinker used – the carbon intensive element of cement – or by using the most cutting-edge manufacturing processes. They are being invited to apply for the Innovandi Open Challenge, an exciting international partnership programme, run by the Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) and its member companies across the world.Īpplicants are being asked to work on the development of new materials and ingredients for low carbon concrete – a major step towards the ultimate goal of net zero concrete. LONDON - Start-ups from around the world can play a leading role in helping an essential global industry in its efforts to cut CO 2 emissions and help solve the climate challenge. – Follows success of first Open Challenge which focused on carbon capture.
