EP #025 - Concrete Euphoria
Is the industry delusional when it comes to carbon-neutral concrete?
In this episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, Jon Belkowitz of Intelligent Concrete shares his concerns about what is happening to the concrete industry as we all chase carbon neutrality. Grab a coffee, sit down and listen to Jon as he challenges us with several questions:
- Will the industry's effort fall by the wayside like past trends including the Prescription To Performance (P2P) initiative and self-consolidating concrete?
- Are there bad players taking advantage of the market by selling us BS products that promise to deliver carbon-reduced concrete?
- Will better concrete technology be discovered in this effort?
- What is a simple way for our projects to reduce its carbon footprint?
