Webinars - Reducing CO2 by half, in concrete * 15-16-17 Dec 2020 - re-watch & slides

Pantheon Performance Foundation organized 3 webinars in partnership with BouwCirculair

“Reducing CO2 by half, in concrete. On the road, with the latest map”

Dec. 15, 16, 17   –  15h-16.30h

 

We are confident that we can reduce the > 7.1 billion ton of CO2 the worlds concrete economy emits per year (study by Prof. Koji Sakai’s) by half, to the benefit of all smart stakeholders. We have now a ROADMAP where to reduce CO2 in concrete constructions, yet that is not enough. We need qualified drivers, vehicles, tools and personal skills to remove roadblocks, fill in the holes, level the playing field, and share the energy to move forward. Many recent initiatives in our society support this endeavour.
