Verde Resources Inc.’s Post

Check out my takeaways from attending a cement/concrete conference in Madrid last month: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sebastianmanhart_cdr-carbonzero-ets-activity-7251512152962830336-vYNf

Check out this spotlight I recently published on ecoLocked: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sebastianmanhart_bcr-cdr-biochar-activity-7252604770727710721-plQq/

A very good read, and through these articles, we can see that although the built environment has significant potential for CO₂ storage, there are still very few policies supporting carbon removal and storage in construction. This is a shame as it slows down adoption which is urgently needed to achieve carbon impact at scale. This is why associations like Deutscher Verband für negative Emissionen e.V. (DVNE) are critical to bundle the innovators‘ voices and help shape a supportive ecosystem where sustainable innovation can thrive.

As the global population rises, the demand for buildings is set to double. This surge means that "upfront carbon"—the emissions generated before a building is even occupied—will make up half of the total carbon footprint of new construction through 2050, consuming a substantial portion of our remaining carbon budget. As pointed out in your article, leveraging carbon-negative materials in public procurement could be a powerful shift toward establishing sustainable industry standards. 👏

Thank you Sebastian Manhart for the shout out. And we couldn’t agree more on the need for policy innovation and public procurement-especially in Germany. We realized projects in Austria and Netherlands where mandatory CO2 declaration of buildings and a more modern regulation system open the path for builders to incorporate our biochar based additives. Looking forward to turning the needle in Germany too!

Incredible to see carbon removal technologies tackling emissions in construction! Storing CO₂ in materials like concrete has huge potential, and supportive policies will be key to scaling these solutions. Thanks for highlighting this important work—looking forward to seeing these innovations grow!

Great read. At Pyrogen, we're utilising biochar in our patented concrete design mix to manufacture consumer products for the African market.

Thank you for highlighting CarbonCure. While we've commercially deployed our carbon mineralization solution for ready mix and precast concrete across two dozen countries, we're also very excited to be piloting across multiple concrete plants our Carbon XPRIZE-winning technology for concrete plant reclaimed water that offers even greater opportunity for permanent carbon storage. Innovation ongoing! https://www.carboncure.com/

Thank you for the feature, Sebastian. It's high time to integrate common sense approaches that align economics with sustainable environmental impact, while working toward our shared goal of large-scale decarbonization.
