The Material Mix Podcast
Welcome to The Material Mix, the podcast series by Holcim exploring sustainable building materials innovation.
Episode 1 - Mind the Carbon Gap
Our first episode, Mind the Carbon Gap, explores the path to decarbonisation for one of the UK’s most essential building materials, cement.
Cement is a versatile and important building commodity, but its production is also carbon intense, accounting for around 8% of global emissions and around 1.5% of all UK carbon emissions.
As an industry, we’re already exploring multiple mitigation measures to reduce the carbon per tonne in its production, but even with all this, there is still a gap to plug if we want to achieve net zero.
Ultimately, the best solution we have is to capture carbon at source, and re-use or safely store it away. How is the industry tackling this challenge?
Find out more in this episode of the material mix, where we’ll be unpacking the innovations, the policy shifts and the industry wide collaborations shaping the next generation of low carbon cement.
