Listen "Christ, Countdown & Climate Change: G is for Green Concrete"
Episode Synopsis
Of the many human-made things we take for granted, concrete may be near the top of the list. As it's the building block of nearly every structure we construct - it's always nearby - yet often overlooked. Did you know though that the way traditional concrete is made today accounts for nearly 8% of the global total of carbon emissions in 2023 -which is more than what aviation and shipping combined produced! So, we must make concrete differently. Fortunately, there are scientists working on precisely this urgent task.
