## Resource

Cement production accounts for roughly 8 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions — more than aviation and shipping combined. In this episode, Lucas and Luna look at how a handful of startups and legacy manufacturers are reinventing the material itself, not just offsetting its footprint. They dig into one company's low-heat electrochemical process that slashes emissions by 70 percent while matching standard Portland cement's cost and curing time. They also examine why Big Cement's net-zero roadmaps still rely on unproven carbon capture, and why venture capital is pouring into novel binders and kiln electrification. A focused look at the hard-to-abate sector that touches every building project on earth. #GreenCement #LowCarbonCement #CementEmissions #IndustrialDecarbonization #CleanTech #ClimateTech #SustainableConstruction #HardToAbate #CarbonEmissions #PortlandCement #Electrification #AlternativeBinders #VentureCapital #NetZero #ConstructionMaterials #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
