Schuler was invited to the Global Countdown's first virtual event to explain how cement and concrete contribute to the global carbon challenge and the potential impact of new production technologies for Solidia Cement and Solidia Concrete.
"To address global warming, innovation in both cement production and carbon utilisation are absolutely
essential," Schuler said. "Our new technology for ready-mix concrete is currently being tested for infrastructure applications. And we have already pushed our research beyond that with a technology that enables concrete to become a carbon sink; that means we consume more carbon dioxide (CO2) than we emit during production."
