I'm in Cape Town kicking off the NetZero Future Conference 2025. It's a great opportunity to connect with local experts and explore potential collaborations. Together we implement Whole Life Cycle thinking in South Africa and across the continent. Excited for the days to come... Follow along!

We are planning joint activities for advancing #LCA, low carbon and climate resilient construction with partners on the continent. We will develop accessible, easy to use LCA tools to support uptake of low carbon, climate resilient buildings.
Curious to learn more or eager to join, get in touch!

Last week I got to join an insightful exchange with African partners in context of #LC3 Low Carbon Cement at #EPFL.
Great resonance with our work at @gbdi.io on leveraging life cycle data to reduce resource use, embodied whole life cycle emissions. Looking forward to deepening our collaborations!

🪨Detailed quantification and analysis shows raw material supply (A1) contributes 80 % of total GWP, followed by transport (A2) at 1 %, production (A3) at 7 %, transport to site (A4) at 3 %, construction (A5) at 3 %, use phase (B1-B3) at <1 %, waste processing (C3) at 1 %, and disposal (C4) at 3 %.

🏗️Assessing whole life cycle embodied carbon impacts among these material groups, aluminium exhibits the highest GWP average score of GWP per mass unit at 21 kg CO2e/kg, while concrete has the lowest at 0.09 kg CO2e/kg. Also materials like plastics, paint, or plaster have substantial impact per kg.

- Applicability and impact of CRRS like circularity and renovation over new construction increase as supply chains, skills develop across EU.
- Due to different potentials and times of implementation, the entire range of strategies is needed to support building and construction decarbonization.

- Here, we systematically identify, classify and quantify the impacts of CRRS, and assess their applicability in different EU MS.
- We identify 35 measures x 11 CRRS for life cycle of buildings. We classify them along various criteria, such as avoid–shift–improve or life cycle stages influenced.
