Frequently Asked Sustainability Questions

How is the carbon reduction verified?

All carbon claims are backed by third-party verified Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) conducted per ISO 14040/14044 standards. We provide Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) certified by independent verification bodies. Our LCA boundary includes raw material extraction, graphene production, concrete mixing, transport, use phase, and end-of-life scenarios. Comparative analysis against industry average concrete (per NRMCA/GCCA benchmarks) shows 30-40% lower global warming potential (GWP) per functional unit.

What's the cost of carbon reduction with graphene concrete?

The carbon abatement cost is highly competitive: typically $30-60 per tonne of CO₂ avoided, compared to $80-150/tonne for many industrial carbon capture solutions. When accounting for performance benefits (strength, durability), the effective cost can approach zero or even negative (net savings). For context, this is well below projected carbon prices in EU ETS ($100+/tonne) and competitive with Scope 3 reduction alternatives.

Can graphene concrete help meet Science-Based Targets (SBTi)?

Yes. Graphene concrete is recognized as a valid Scope 3 Category 1 (Purchased Goods) emission reduction strategy under SBTi protocols. For construction companies, developers, and asset owners, switching to graphene concrete can contribute significantly to achieving 1.5°C-aligned targets. We provide activity data and emission factors in SBTi-compatible formats. Several clients have included graphene concrete in their validated SBTi submissions.

What sustainability certifications does graphene concrete support?

Graphene concrete supports credits/points in: LEED v4/v4.1 (MR, EQ, Innovation), BREEAM (Mat 1, 3, 5), WELL Building Standard (X06, X09), Living Building Challenge (Materials Petal), DGNB, Green Star, and BEAM Plus. We provide pre-written credit narratives, calculations, and documentation packages. It also aligns with frameworks like GRESB, CDP, and UN SDGs (particularly SDG 9, 11, 12, 13).
