Ecometrix is noticed by the newspaper Bygg & Teknik, which in its reportage in November 2023 talks about the BETCRETE 3.0 project, which highlights the need for joint data collection and collaboration for the pursuit of net-zero with regard to C02 emissions as a success factor in the concrete industry.
Here is a brief summary of the article:
BETCRETE 3.0 a consortium working to promote the implementation of roadmaps for climate-neutral cement and concrete production and use. Since 2018, the cement and concrete industries are striving for net-zero emission cement by 2030 and climate-neutral concrete on the market by 2030. The article addresses the challenges facing the industry and BETCRETE's work to promote the use of climate-enhanced concrete.
Ecometrix has had the role of coordinating, collecting and presenting statistics on average strength class, CO2 emissions, proportion of alternative binders and other relevant data for ready-mixed concrete production in Sweden. The article emphasizes the need to reduce CO2 emissions and increase the use of climate-improved concrete to meet the demands of the construction industry and global climate goals.
Within the existing application standard SS 137003 [3] there are significant opportunities to reduce the climate footprint of concrete. However, a systematic follow-up to show the increase in the use of climate-improved concrete within the industry has been lacking before, but BETCRETE and Ecometrix have now made it possible.
Construction technology also raises the challenges of collecting detailed data on the use of climate-improved concrete as well as the need for new alternative binders. Betcrete's initiative to develop and evaluate alternative binders, such as pozzolans from volcanic deposits and sedimentary rocks, is mentioned.
BETCRETE 3.0, a project funded by VINNOVA, which runs from December 2022 to January 2025 and focuses on promoting the use of climate-improved concrete.
Ecometrix has something unique that the construction industry has needed for so long. The collection is simple and safe and we can get good and relevant comparisons so that producers and customers can see how a producer is doing in a certain industry. As a complement to what we have done for all companies in BETCRETE, we can also supplement the industry data with existing EDP data and collect everything in one place, which has made it much easier for the people who work with the issues in the industry.
