Altherm ICF reduces embodied carbon by >50% The construction industry is responsible for nearly 40% of global CO₂ emissions, with concrete being one of the most significant contributors to embodied carbon—the emissions produced from materials, transportation, and construction processes before a building is even occupied. With stricter climate targets and growing pressure on developers to adopt low-carbon solutions, the industry is searching for practical, scalable innovations that reduce carbon without sacrificing performance. At Altherm ICF, we recognise this challenge and have developed a groundbreaking solution—new concrete mixes that cut embodied carbon by up to 54% while maintaining the structural durability, fire safety, and thermal performance that ICF is known for.
