Event Highlights

Meeting Canada's climate targets demands a comprehensive approach from all sectors of the national economy. The industrial production of materials used in construction contributes significantly to carbon emissions. Decarbonizing these heavy industries is crucial but requires unique and targeted strategies.

Concrete and cement, as some of the most widely used building materials globally, have been identified as critical in the push for decarbonization. Carbon Capture and Utilization in Cementitious Building Materials (CCU-CBM) is a key strategy for reducing emissions in the cement and concrete industry, expected to contribute more than 25% of the necessary carbon reductions. Emissions from the raw materials used in cement manufacturing are substantial, and while renewable energy and efficiency improvements are important, they alone will not fully address the problem.

Why attend: Gain insights into how Carbon Capture and Utilization in Cementitious Building Materials (CCU CBM) can help meet Canada's climate goals and learn from industry experts about the challenges and solutions for decarbonizing concrete and cement.

Topics:
• The Concrete Landscape in Canada
• Addressing Embodied Carbon in Canada’s Construction Industry
• Decarbonization Strategies for Concrete and Cement
• Introduction to CCU-CBM
• Opportunities and Benefits of CCU-CBM
• Economics of CCU-CBM
• Q & A

This session will be delivered in English with French AI Interpretation available.
