Could Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) be more than just an insulation superstar? Science says yes—it’s a powerful carbon sink.

We’re excited to release the latest Background Report on Recarbonation, offering cutting-edge insights into how AAC absorbs CO₂ throughout its entire lifecycle—supercharging the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of modern buildings.

Why the Industry Should Care:

• Deep Carbon Capture: Unlike conventional concrete, AAC’s high porosity lets CO₂ penetrate and re-carbonize the full wall thickness.
• Continuous Benefits: Recarbonation in AAC grows linearly over time, stacking up environmental gains year after year.
• Proven Climate Impact: For a typical single-family home, AAC masonry recarbonation alone can cut GWP by up to 0.64 kg/m² useful area  per year.
• Compliance-Ready: Clear formulas and reduction factors make it simple to include recarbonation in EN 15978 Module B1.1 for environmental assessments.

Unlock the Green Potential of Masonry
With global CO₂ limits tightening, understanding recarbonation is no longer optional—it’s a competitive advantage. Harness the latest science to prove the sustainability of your next project.
