Did you know that cement production is responsible for 8 – 12 per cent of the world’s CO2 emissions?
In fact, if the cement industry were a country, it would be the third largest carbon dioxide emitter in the world with up to 2.8bn tonnes.
As part of our #AfricaNetZero series, we spoke to @Wolfram Schmidt about his research into alternative materials like cassava and other agricultural residues as a source of ‘green’ African-made cement for future sustainable construction on the continent.
Thank you, Wolfram, for sharing your insights with us!
