Embodied Carbon: The First Movers of the Built Environment
Manage episode 495875341 series 3492709
The cause of global warming isn’t a mystery: we’ve been reliant on burning fossil fuels for centuries. Our carbon emissions are a big problem, but what if carbon could be part of the solution?
There are many solutions that can contribute to reducing our emissions footprint, from the transition to renewable energy, to sustainable consumption, production, and building practices. And for the first movers in the sustainability space, the opportunities for innovation are endless.
In this episode, we speak to Cal Krause, Operational Impacts Program Manager at Trane Technologies, and Nollaig Forrest, Chief Marketing and Corporate Affairs Officer at Amrize.
We talk about embodied carbon in the built environment, strategies for reducing scope 1 and 2 emissions, and the next generation technologies that could turn buildings into carbon sinks, batteries, and more!
