The construction industry is responsible for a staggering 37% of global CO₂ emissions, making it one of the largest contributors to climate change. But what if we could flip the script? What if the materials we use in construction could absorb more carbon than they emit — transforming buildings from carbon sources into carbon sinks? 🏗️ Carbonation in building materials – an innovative approach to carbon dioxide removal (#CDR) – utilizes carbonation reactions to incorporate CO₂ directly into durable construction materials, such as cement and concrete. Let’s dive into the details: 1️⃣ The process starts with sourcing two key components: Alkaline materials build the base for the carbonation process, just like in the enhanced weathering process. Among others, materials such as silicate mine residues, lime, alkaline solutions, or industrial by- and waste products such as demolished concrete or steel slag can be used. The second input material is CO₂, sourced from biogenic origins or direct air capture facilities to ensure the process remains carbon-negative (unlike when the CO₂ is derived from fossil fuels). 2️⃣ Through industrial processes, the CO₂ is mixed with the alkaline materials. The carbonation process then leverages the natural chemical reactivity of alkaline materials with CO₂: Carbonates are formed that chemically bind carbon in their structure and hold on to it long-term. 3️⃣ Once the carbonation process is complete, the CO₂ is permanently stored within the building material in a stable, solid state, preventing its release back into the atmosphere and establishing a permanent carbon sink. With over 30 billion tonnes of concrete produced each year, utilizing CO₂ in construction materials is recognized as one of the most promising pathways for carbon sequestration. According to the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, this is offering a $400 billion market opportunity and the potential to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete by up to 1.4 gigatonnes of CO₂. ⏭️ What’s next for scaling up carbonated building materials? Although the technology has been widely tested, the commercial utilization of CO₂ in construction materials is still in the early scale-up phase. To enable large-scale adoption, sector-wide material norms and regulations will need to adapt to accommodate these new materials. Want to learn more about durable carbon removal?

Did you know the ocean generates 50% of the oxygen we breathe, captures 90% of excess heat, and absorbs 25% of all CO2 emissions? 🌍 As the planet’s largest carbon sink, the ocean plays a key role in regulating our climate. Now, a growing number of carbon removal initiatives are looking to increase the carbon sequestration potential of the ocean even further. Here’s a look at the most common approaches (among many more): 🔹 Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) OAE involves adding an alkaline solution like sodium hydroxide to the ocean to make the water less acidic so it can absorb more CO2. This process creates carbonate minerals that eventually settle on the ocean floor, trapping carbon for thousands of years. 🔹 Biomass Sinking This method involves growing carbon-rich plants like seaweed or utilizing land-based plants and sinking them into the deep ocean, where low microbial activity ensures the carbon in the plants remains sequestered for millennia. 🔹 Microalgae Cultivation & Sequestration By fertilizing phytoplankton — tiny marine plants essential to the ocean food web — we can boost the ocean’s inherent ability to capture carbon. This can be achieved by adding nutrients to surface waters or by upwelling nutrient-rich deep waters. Ocean CDR holds enormous potential for long-term, cost-effective carbon removal and each of these methods offers unique benefits. However, they also present challenges and risks to marine ecosystems such as overnutrition leading to algal blooms and anoxic zones, or alkalinity pockets arising from OAE. A challenge concerning all methods is the accurate measurement, monitoring, reporting, and verification (#MRV) of the removal activities. Due to the vastness of the ocean and the diffuse nature of some approaches, the accurate monitoring of carbon removal processes and their potential ecosystem effects is a complex task. Pilot projects are important for exploring various pathways and learning from real-world applications. Additionally, it’s vital that these projects receive the necessary funding to conduct thorough impact assessments and ensure that we learn by doing—without causing harm. Continuous analysis and extensive research are key to fully understanding the environmental impacts and developing robust MRV systems.

💬 "Why act now [on carbon removal]? It's not like going all-in in poker, but it's time to start playing your chips." 💬 🎙️ That was Carbonfuture‘s Chief Growth Officer Dominic on the most recent episode of the Carbon Exposure Project podcast. He sat down with host Rene Velasquez to talk about the state of the CDR industry, the importance of a trust infrastructure and ecosystem for future growth, and why corporate sustainability leaders benefit from combining carbon reductions with removals today. Here are 5️⃣ key takeaways from their discussion: 🔹 Carbon removal is one puzzle piece in a broader sustainability strategy and a necessary one to reach our net-zero goals. 🔹 Trust is the essential currency for carbon removal– especially in a voluntary market. 🔹 As we draw closer to 2030, companies with net-zero goals will be increasingly looking at durable CDR supply to help supplement their sustainability strategies. That could cause a rush on supply, an undersupplied market as recent studies predict, and drive up the price - something that can be avoided by securing long-term purchase agreements now. 🔹 Investing in carbon removal projects today helps ensure short-term supply and supports industry growth to climate-relevant levels over the coming years. 🔹 By working with partners like Carbonfuture, corporate sustainability leaders can establish the knowledge base and insights into this industry, providing a major competitive advantage in this growing market.
