In 2022, Atlantis joined the ranks as one of the first affiliate members of the American Concrete Institute's Center of Excellence for Carbon Neutral Concrete or NEU program - Members | NEU (neuconcrete.org) NEU's sole focus is the validation and promotion of new and innovative products and technologies that support the massive push towards carbon neutrality within the cement and concrete industries.
Buildings as a Solution – A New Alternative to Carbon Capture Carbon Capture and Sequestration technologies, such as the method of infusing CO 2 into freshly mixed concrete, have proven to be an effective method for reducing overall carbon with, in some cases, a 30% reduction in overall emissions. However, despite these significant advantages, this process still requires the generation of new concrete.
What if there was a retrofit method that effectively doubled the lifespan of a structure using a fraction of the materials — the majority of which being recycled content — that would otherwise be necessary for a complete demolition and rebuild, thereby storing the original carbon for a further 30-50 years? Further, what would be the impact of keeping this demolition waste out of landfills?
