# 2019 Cast in Carbon |
|
Cast in Carbon aims to reverse the carbon cycle by removing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reducing carbon emissions generated through the construction process. Biochar is a new construction material through which carbon can be stored within building structures, converting built spaces into ‘carbon sinks’. It has been successfully tested as a replacement material in various cement-based composites and has displayed the added benefits of being lightweight, providing thermal insulation and allowing for passive cooling.
