Decarbonising Construction: BUILDING A LOW-CARBON FUTURE

Kingsfield Academy’s John Fotherby joined forces with nearly 100 industry leaders from 84 companies across the construction value chain from Europe, North America and Asia, contributing to a recent report on the challenges and opportunities to decarbonise the construction sector.

A collaboration between Shell and Deloitte, “Decarbonising Construction: BUILDING A LOW-CARBON FUTURE”, is an industry report analysing the challenges the construction sector faces in reducing its emissions but also proposing a roadmap for the sector to accelerate the transition to net zero.

The report focuses on “embodied carbon”, emissions coming from sourcing and producing materials, logistics, construction activities, maintenance, demolition, and waste management. These emissions are hard to abate and have gone relatively unnoticed as the sector focused its efforts on reducing the emissions coming from the operational phase.

More and more construction companies have started to make commitments to decarbonise their activities, but the road ahead is not always clear. Download the report and check the 15 possible solutions the industry experts have identified for reducing carbon emissions, as well as the roadmap ahead for reaching net zero.
