Betcrete 3.0 – for a climate-neutral cement and concrete industry
Concrete is the most widely used building material in the world, but also a significant source of CO2 emissions. The BETCRETE 3.0 project, led by RISE and with funding from Vinnova, brings together the entire value chain for cement and concrete in a broad player collaboration in a common strategy with joint activities to implement the cement and concrete industries' roadmaps for climate-neutral construction.
The goal is for the climate-neutral concrete to be on the market by 2030 and used throughout Sweden by 2045.
“There is a clear will among the country's cement and concrete producers, developers and property owners to push for and reduce the climate footprint from the construction industry. Together, we will develop innovative solutions that can contribute to a paradigm shift in the entire construction industry”, says Katarina Malaga, research and business developer at RISE.
