Ultra-low-carbon concrete meets profitability<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Thirty billion tons of concrete are produced globally each year, about three times as much per person as in the 1980s, making it the second most utilized material on the planet after water. With such ubiquity, the climate impact of concrete is enormous. Concrete accounts for roughly 8% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. The lion\u2019s share of this climate impact stems from the production of cement, concrete\u2019s key binding agent. If the cement industry were ranked alongside individual countries, it would be the third-largest GHG emitter<\/a> in the world, behind only the United States and China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is well accepted that if we\u2019re to meet our global ambitions of minimizing the negative impacts of climate change, the concrete industry and its end users must change\u2014and fast. We need to rethink how we design, make, and operate our infrastructure\u2014and the foundational materials that build it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concrete dilemma<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Portland cement, the most common binding agent in concrete, is made by heating carbon-rich limestone to extremely high temperatures. As crushed limestone and other materials work through the kiln, the limestone off-gasses and converts to a substance called clinker. Clinker is then ground into powder, forming the key binding element, cement, that allows concrete to harden when cured with water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emissions from cement production originate from two sources: burning fossil fuels to heat the kilns and off-gassing from the chemical reaction itself (i.e., the carbon emitted from the limestone combines with ambient oxygen to form CO2<\/sub>). The thermal and chemical processes of today\u2019s cement production make decarbonizing the industry uniquely challenging. In other words, you can\u2019t reduce the carbon footprint of concrete without reducing the CO2<\/sub> impact of cement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why CarbonBuilt?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Autodesk Foundation is pleased to welcome CarbonBuilt<\/a>, a Los Angeles-based producer of process technology that enables the production of ultra-low-carbon concrete, to its Energy & Materials<\/a> portfolio. Concrete produced with CarbonBuilt\u2019s technology reduces embodied carbon of concrete by 70% to 100%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CarbonBuilt\u2019s approach replaces traditional Portland cement with a mix of lower-cost, lower-carbon materials. The new cement alternative reacts with captured CO2<\/sub> during the curing phase, strengthening the concrete and permanently storing the CO2<\/sub>. Because CarbonBuilt\u2019s technology \u201cbolts on\u201d to existing concrete manufacturing plants and meets ASTM C90 and other applicable industry standards without increasing costs, it can be rapidly adopted by the nearly 800 concrete plants operating in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than displacing concrete producers, the company partners with them to retrofit existing facilities to cure using CO2<\/sub>. The technology retrofit is then coupled with an innovative profit-share model that allows producers to benefit from the voluntary carbon markets through monetizing carbon credits. In this way, CarbonBuilt provides compelling economics for its producer partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CarbonBuilt CEO Rahul Shendure believes this approach is critical to solving climate change<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Headshot<\/figure>
\n

\u201cOur theory of change is that: to make significant and immediate reductions to the carbon footprint of concrete, it has to be more profitable for producers to make ultra-low-carbon concrete than it is to make traditional concrete. Rapid adoption will follow the money. Our solution delivers on this vision<\/strong>.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our collaboration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CarbonBuilt will leverage Autodesk resources, industry expertise and talent, and industry networks to further commercialize its low-carbon concrete solution. The Autodesk Foundation supported the development of CarbonBuilt\u2019s retrofit solution for its first commercial plant, Blair Block<\/a>, which was commercialized in early 2023. CarbonBuilt is now leveraging Autodesk tools and expertise to create scalable retrofit production facility designs, layouts, and management workflows for the coming wave of concrete producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGiven their foundational role in the built environment, architects, engineers, and designers\u2014Autodesk users, in other words\u2014are well positioned to advance the adoption of high-impact technologies like ours to transform the built environment and address climate change,\u201d said Shendure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CarbonBuilt, along with other low-carbon, high-performance, and low-cost concrete innovations, will play a critical role in enabling sustainable growth in the built environment for decades to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
