Description
Infrastructure development is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for a staggering 79% of global emissions. A substantial portion of these emissions stem from embodied carbon, which is found in the materials used in construction like concrete, steel, and glass. This session will explore the effects of embodied carbon in infrastructure and why minimizing embodied carbon is essential for meeting global sustainability targets. We will discuss how innovative technologies and tools can play a pivotal role in quantifying and reducing these emissions, and we'll present real-life applications where advanced technology has made measurable differences in cutting down the carbon footprint of large-scale infrastructure projects. Join us to learn how using the right tools can lead to more-responsible construction practice, helping pave the way toward a greener planet.
