Webinar | Embodied carbon – tackling lifecycle emissions in the MENA region

Part of an ongoing series presented by EmiratesGBC Net Zero Centre of Excellence

According to the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction’s Global Status Report 2019, 11% of energy and process-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2018 was due to the energy used to produce building and construction materials, usually referred to as embodied carbon. As operational carbon is reduced, embodied carbon will continue to grow in importance as a proportion of total emissions. While it is important to address operational carbon, the industry must now rapidly increase efforts to tackle embodied carbon emissions at a global scale, too.

EmiratesGBC partner, Bionova Ltd, developer of One Click LCA, will be facilitating a webinar session on Embodied Carbon and how calculating lifecycle emissions can be essential drivers for carbon reduction. The session will also give an overview of the global impact of embodied carbon and how the MENA region can start progressing towards a net zero carbon future. It will also be cover on the capabilities of their software, One Click LCA Planetary, which will be offered free-of-charge for UAE companies as part of the partnership with EmiratesGBC.
