Title:
Low-Carbon Construction Materials
Agreement Number:
1016520
Agreement Value:
$150,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 29, 2024 - Sep 29, 2024
Description:
Develop low-carbon construction materials prioritizing functionality and cost-efficiency, with an emphasis on concrete/cement and steel.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
  1. Provide a product that has significantly lower carbon emission than its current counterpart or demonstrate its ability to reduce embodied carbon in high carbon construction materials (i.e. cement/concrete, steel.
  2. Disclose its total embodied carbon and demonstrate the claimed carbon emission reduction benefits using standard life cycle assessment (LCA) practices.
  3. Demonstrate its cost-efficiency (i.e., similar to existing high carbon alternatives), impact and availability for large-scale deployment in projects across Canada.
  4. Be a viable cost-effective solution for the construction industry, meaning that adopting the technology or material is not cost prohibitive.
