That question is anything but hypothetical in scientific laboratories, which present some of the most daunting challenges to decarbonization. To begin, there’s the embodied carbon in the building’s construction and component materials – labs typically use large amounts of concrete, steel and glass.

While the market for geopolymer concrete is still in its infancy, it presents an opportunity to reduce carbon in a responsible way, rather than relying on waste from declining industries. Looking towards 2030 and beyond, carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) through CO 2 mineralisation is an emerging solution.
