If solved
Climate-Neutral Construction
Cement, steel and concrete are made without fossil emissions - cities grow without burdening the climate.
Open in the interactive tree →If CO2-free cement and green steel become standard, building and infrastructure lose their largest emissions item. New binders would have to be anchored in standards, capture with storage available. Materials that store CO2 could turn buildings into sinks.
