Concrete change: why decarbonising cement is key with Eco Material Technologies
Episode description
Cement might not be sexy, but it is responsible for 8% of global emissions – and it's in everything from critical infrastructure to homes. It's fundamental to development and its decarbonisation is critical to net zero success.
This week, Felicia dives into the future of construction with Grant Quasha, CEO of Eco Material Technologies, the largest supplier of low-carbon cement alternatives in North America.
They unpack how industrial waste like coal ash and steel slag are being transformed into sustainable building materials, why AI is reshaping power and construction demands, and how policy and carbon tariffs are influencing the green building revolution.
Tune in to learn:
- How blended cements are taking over the market
- Why AI data centres are changing how we build
- What carbon tariffs mean for the future of materials
- And how cost-efficiency and sustainability can finally align
It’s not just about reducing emissions – it’s about rethinking what we build with, for generations to come.
