Concrete is a carbon-heavy material and is widely used. With continued focus on sustainability, industry experts have a plan to reach net zero\u2014it starts with carbon accounting. Earlier this year, the Concrete Council of Canada shared its plan with the OAA at the Association\u2019s annual conference held in Sudbury.<\/p>\n<p>As architects and builders strive for net-zero emissions, they must find ways to reduce carbon in all building materials. Some materials, like concrete, are more challenging than others. More than 4 billion tonnes of cement were produced in 2021, responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions. As awareness grows around embodied carbon in new builds, high-density cities including Toronto and Vancouver are regulating or incentivizing caps. So, builders are going greener. But concrete presents a unique problem\u2014it is carbon-heavy, and it\u2019s everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>The Concrete Council of Canada (CCC) has a plan to decarbonize, said Bart Kanters, president of Concrete Ontario, previously known as the Ready Mixed Concrete Association of Ontario. This group of industry suppliers and associations is working to operate more sustainability, with a roadmap to reach net-zero by first measuring baselines. Kanters outlined the CCC\u2019s carbon accounting mission at the 2023 OAA Conference earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Concrete is among the most widely used substances on the planet, next only to water. It\u2019s become an essential material for everything from infrastructure to sidewalks and parking garages. And concrete production comes with a big footprint. Recognizing this, the industry is responding with ambitious reduction targets. \u201cOne of the key issues we\u2019re trying to address is sustainability,\u201d explained Kanters. \u201cIn May, we launched our net-zero roadmap for 2050\u2014how the cement and concrete industry is going to move to net zero.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The goal includes significant milestones, including cutting carbon emissions up to 40% by 2030. The CCC is helping architects and builders get there as a team.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/business\/the-concrete-council-of-canada-paving-the-way-to-net-zero-emissions\/article\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/business\/the-concrete-council-of-canada-paving-the-way-to-net-zero-emissions\/article\">DJ<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/the-concrete-council-of-canada-paving-the-way-to-net-zero-emissions\/\">The Concrete Council of Canada: Paving the way to net-zero emissions<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1544,711,575,1013],"class_list":["post-117736","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-canada","tag-emission","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-net-zero"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117736","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117736"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117736\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117736"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117736"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
