Data Ecosystems Driving the Green Transition
summary
Concrete alternatives called geopolymers replace cement with industrial waste streams plus proprietary activators and aim to cut cement's ~7% share of global CO2 (about 2.3 Gt CO2/year). A platform matches sidestream owners to builders, collects lab and field data via APIs, uses AI agents to discover APIs and standardize formats, and loops results into R&D. Examples: a Finnish CO2 Data Hub (~30 firms) defines shared APIs, a waste register consolidates 20+ tracking systems, and Finland mandates life cycle analysis in buildings from 2025.
