Green construction - A pathway to Net-Zero

Advanced industrial facility developers looking to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability are often wary of the higher price ("green premium") tag associated with green concrete, cement and steel alternatives.

Biyat Energy & Environment Ltd encourages the adoption of green building materials and techniques to assist clients in their journey towards net-zero carbon emissions.

To make the switch, we suggest taking the following actions.

① 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Design buildings to use materials more efficiently, and employ value-engineering principles, i.e. installing Miles Macadam 'Hardicrete™', an ultra-low carbon surfacing material that combines the flexibility of asphalt and the strength of concrete

② 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Incorporate green materials in phases via smaller pilot projects to evaluate performance and cost-effectiveness before scaling up.

③ 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Partner with suppliers who specialise in green materials to secure better pricing and develop JVs with other developers to share the costs of sourcing green materials.

Carbon-emission-free production of steel, cement, and concrete is becoming a reality thanks to a number of breakthroughs...

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹
➔ GH2 direct & electrolysis-based reduction and CCUS to capture, store, reuse emissions from steel plants.

➔ Renewable powered Electric Arc Furnaces to melt scrap steel.

➔ Biomass and Waste-Derived Fuels & High-Efficiency Furnaces.

➔ Increasing the use of recycled steel and improving the efficiency of steel recycling.

𝗖𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 & 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲
➔Alternative clinker materials (LC3, SCMs) and binders (geopolymer concrete) replacing the most carbon intensive components.

➔ Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) / Utilisation (CCU) technologies that capture emissions, storing or using them in other processes I.e. CarbonCure Technologies: Injecting captured CO2 into fresh concrete.

➔ Partnering with producers committed to low-carbon fuel usage (biomass, waste derived fuels, hydrogen), renewable energy use and the development of advanced kiln technologies / process optimisation via AI and machine learning.

➔ Novel reduced carbon / carbon neutral cement formulations such as Geopolymer Cement and Magnesium-Based Cements plus additives that enhance the carbonation process in concrete allowing it to absorb more CO2 from the atmosphere.

➔ Recycling and Reuse: Incorporating recycled concrete aggregates and other waste materials into new cement formulations plus the reuse of concrete can reduce the need for virgin materials and lower emissions.
