Solidia takes a giant step that leaves a small footprint.
Solidia’s broad global adoption would:
-
a. lower concrete’s carbon footprint by up to 70% - equal to 1.5 gigatonnes per year, or 4% of global CO2 emissions;
-
b. dramatically reduce water usage in concrete manfacturing, saving up to 3 trillion liters of freshwater a year, enough to fill one million Olympic swimming pools;
-
c. reduce cement plant energy consumption by approximately 260 million oil barrels, or 67 million tonnes of coal;
-
d. avoid almost 100 million tonnes of concrete in landfills; and,
-
e. cut mercury, nitrogen oxide, and sulphur oxide emissions in half.
Solidia also creates value for CO2, turning it from global issue to valuable commodity. Over a 5-year period, Solidia’s need for CO2 will more than double the existing market for CO2.
