Study finds building materials could store up to half of 2021's human CO2 emissions yearly.
A study suggests that replacing traditional building materials with carbon-storing alternatives could store up to 16.6 billion tonnes of CO2 annually, equivalent to about half of human-caused emissions in 2021.
The alternatives include adding carbon aggregates to concrete and using bio-based materials in bricks.
While the potential is significant, the construction industry's reluctance to adopt new materials and the need for a reliable supply chain could pose challenges.
