Why We Made this Film
If you're inside right now, there's a pretty good chance that the building you're in is made up of concrete. That's because it's the most abundant building material on the planet. Yet one of the core ingredients to make concrete, cement, is a major driver of climate change. In fact, 7% of all greenhouse gas emissions result from the production of cement. The rate of growth isn’t slowing anytime soon; we’re adding the equivalent of a new Manhattan every single month until 2060.
This is a massive problem that’s only getting larger by the day, making it a story we had to tell. It is why CarbonCure, which injects CO2 into its concrete mix and reduces the amount of cement content, is such a fascinating climate solution. In addition to sequestering CO2, the concrete comes out even stronger.
Founded 10 years ago by Rob Niven, concrete producers around the world have delivered over 1.7 million truckloads of concrete made with CarbonCure’s technology.
