“We all understand that decarbonizing concrete is a necessity,” Champagne said. “If we’re going to build hundreds of billions of infrastructure over the next decades, we might as well do it in a sustainable way. It’s not only the right thing to do but it’s also the smart thing to do.”
Canada is beginning this initiative by committing to co-lead the Glasgow Breakthrough on Cement and Concrete. This agenda will allow countries and businesses to join up and strengthen their actions through public and private global initiatives. “It will also bring global visibility to the measures and actions developed with the Cement Association of Canada and presented in the Roadmap to Net-Zero Carbon Concrete by 2050.”The announcement was hosted by Burnco Rock Products Ltd., a fourth-generation family business in Saskatoon.
