Carbon-Negative Concrete – A Game-Changer for Sustainable Construction The construction industry has long been a significant contributor to global CO2 emissions, primarily due to concrete production. However, the future of building is transforming with carbon-negative concrete – a revolutionary material that absorbs more carbon than it emits during its lifecycle. One recent breakthrough in this area comes from CarbonCure Technologies, which has developed a process to inject captured CO2 into concrete during mixing. This not only strengthens the material but also permanently stores the CO2, preventing it from re-entering the atmosphere. CarbonCure's innovation has been widely adopted, including in the construction of the Microsoft Silicon Valley campus, where the concrete used captured thousands of metric tons of CO2. This is a huge step forward in making our built environment more sustainable, and it demonstrates the real impact that carbon-negative materials can have on our fight against climate change. As more projects adopt these practices, we move closer to a greener, more responsible future. #SustainableConstruction #iifm #iifmbhopal #CarbonNegative Google #GreenBuilding #ClimateAction Bain & Company #InnovationInConstruction #CarbonCure #NetZero #Decarbonization #CleanTech #BuildingTheFuture #CircularEconomy #tata IIFM Bhopal #ConcreteSustainability #ESG #CarbonCapture #ClimateTech #GreenTech

Maccaferri undertook a four-laning project of the Meerut-Nazibabad stretch in Uttar Pradesh under Bharatmala Pariyojana. A Reinforced Soil wall system (MacRes®) with precast concrete panels as fascia and ParaWeb® as reinforcement was proposed for retention of approaches due to its flexibility, aesthetic finish, economy, speed of construction and long term performance. The construction process employed technology that significantly reduced the carbon footprint. This video showcases the innovative methods and techniques used in the construction, highlighting the positive impact of adopting sustainable approaches to infrastructure development. Maccaferri has consistently contributed significantly to the development of India's infrastructure while actively embracing sustainable construction methods and technologies.

Echoes of Time!!!!!! Unveiling Thanjavur's Technological Reflection and Sustainable Innovations The construction of skyscrapers is nothing new to us in Thanjavur (Tamil Nadu), as evidenced by structures that have stood for 1000 ++ years. Historically, these constructions have been focused on common spaces and have served various practical purposes. Remarkably, this Technology aligns with the current trend of sustainable development, particularly the Net Zero theme in @Davos -Klosters from 15th to 19th January 2024. I deeply admire the innovative engineering talent showcased by those who built these structures 1000 years ago. The Department of #materialsengineering #materialscience , with their intricate methods of synthesizing materials capable of lasting for 1000++ years, likely played a pivotal role in these endeavors. The video provided showcases the renovation of the same in Thanjavur, near a place called Kasavalanadu Kovilur. I am grateful to my parents and uncle's for instilling a love for this environment during my school days, where I had the privilege of learning from highly talented individuals who imparted knowledge in mathematics, science, and farming. A big thanks to Sankar and his team in Kasavalanadu for their efforts in ensuring that these structures endure for another 1000++ years or more. //jk
