This includes stepping up ambition in NDCs to include building decarbonization targets that contain the so-far largely overlooked embodied carbon, emissions from the production of building materials. Governments need to commit to further decarbonising the power, as well as heating and cooling energy supply.

Going forward, it will include lifecycle assessment of materials employed in the construction phase as part of the development design as a way of reducing embodied carbon, waste and pollution. The programme will target a broad range of ESG themes, aligning with the objectives of the EU’s environmental taxonomy.

A prime example includes banks of buffer hold bags that can be closely aggregated with daisy-chained jacket-coolant supply or small volume processes for ATMP products that can be localized on a benchtop only requiring gas utility supplies. Equipment Density: Single-use systems have the advantage with facility space constraints (i.e.

Cristina Gamboa of the WGBC presented the future of buildings, “By 2030, new buildings, infrastructure and renovations will have at least 40% less embodied carbon, with significant upfront carbon reduction.” As of September 2019, at least 77 countries and 100 cities have committed to net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

The State of Massachusetts last year established a Community Climate Bank to fund low-carbon projects aimed at affordable rental housing agencies. Other governments have opted for carrots instead of sticks. It can sometimes just be cheaper to knock down a building rather than retrofit it,” Wainwright observes.
