Fossilfritt
Fossilfritt Sverige
Fossilfritt Sverige är en plattform för dialog och samverkan mellan företag, kommuner och andra typer av aktörer som vill göra Sverige fritt från fossila bränslen. Initiativet samlar kunskapen och viljan i alla samhällssektorer och verkar för att synliggöra det klimatarbete som sker runt om i landet. Concrete is the most used construction material in the world and it has enabled urban development across practically the whole of our society.
The roadmap for climate neutral concrete is closely linked to the roadmap for cement because cement accounts for about 90 percent of the climate impact of concrete. The industry organisation Svensk Betong is responsible for the roadmap implementation process. The roadmap was produced with a number of actors from the whole value chain in the Swedish Concrete Initiative, working together for climate-neutral concrete.
Depending on the type of construction, it is already possible to achieve a 50 percent reduction in climate impact from concrete by using climate-improved concrete. The concrete industry is now working on a knowledge boost to encourage other actors in the value chain to use climate-improved concrete in projects. The revision of the Swedish application standard for concrete SS to be completed in autumn will open up wider opportunities to use alternative binders to cement in the further development of climate-improved concrete.

The purpose of the project is to support and increase the pace of implementation of the roadmaps for concrete and cement, for example through research into alternative binders such as calcined clays. Cementa has made a decision to invest in introducing CCS carbon capture and storage throughout its cement factory in Slite from , which will enable climate-neutral cement manufacture. In many cases, the target of a 50 percent reduction in climate impact for concrete used in house building by can already be met today.
The challenge lies in ensuring that climate-improved concrete is really ordered and that procurements make climate requirements based on a lifecycle perspective. The Riksdag has decided to introduce a statutory requirement for climate declarations on buildings from January but the requirement only involves declaring the manufacturing and construction processes and not the whole lifecycle. Even with a renewed permit, the development of CCS technology introduces a number of questions linked to risks and funding.
The technological transformation demands major investments and risk-taking and risks being slowed by slow and unpredictable permit processes for the business and for access to electricity. Standards and regulations govern the proportion of alternative binders that can be used. Because continuous development is underway to safeguard the durability of concrete, regulations and standards need to keep pace so as not to slow progress.
