Our Sustainable Vision

The emissions from buildings and construction account for 37% of global CO2 emissions. The materials used in construction play a big part in this. Materials used in the construction of buildings already account for around nine per cent of overall energy-related CO2 emissions. Leading experts state the emissions associated with materials and construction processes need to be tackled to avoid undermining energy-saving measures.

In such times the use of AAC (autoclave aerated concrete) is a viable solution and a revolution in the industry.

40.65 -- 42.64 Tg CO2 is released into the atmosphere per annum due to production of red clay bricks not to mention the loss of fertilised soil. The carbon emitted in producing AAC blocks is 75% less than that in standard clay bricks and it is estimated that if India switches entirely to AAC it can reduce its carbon footprint by 1.5%.

Alternative monolithic construction methods such as MIVAN increase the deadweight of buildings and in the long run require much more mechanical heating and cooling to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. 80% of the carbon footprint in a building's lifetime comes from indoor heating and cooling. Considering this, using carbon-negative and thermally insulating materials is not only sensible, but essential.

Currently only 8% of India uses AAC blocks which is far less than other developed nations and our company aims to change that and help pave the path for a more sustainable nation and planet.

GreenAer stands with our honourable prime minister in the nation's goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
