      "The concrete industry is responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions, with 3 billion tonnes of CO2 produced annually from cement production. Current methods of reducing these emissions are insufficient and often require significant changes to existing processes and infrastructure."

      Solution

      "Concrete4Change has developed a technology that captures and mineralizes CO2 during the concrete production process, permanently storing the CO2 within the concrete. The technology is compatible with existing concrete production methods and can be easily integrated into existing supply chains, offering a straightforward way to reduce emissions without disrupting the industry."
