To achieve the goal of a climate-neutral Switzerland by 2050, strategies and processes with a negative CO2 balance are necessary. These so-called negative emission technologies (NET) are intended to counterbalance the remaining “hard-to-avoid” emissions in 2050 and should help ensure that we eventually achieve net zero.
As one of the main emitters, the construction sector has a particular obligation. About 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions are caused by cement production. At the same time, initial efforts are emerging to use the construction sector, with its massive consumption of resources, as a possible carbon sink.
