RMI Webinar: Roadmap to Zero Embodied Carbon from Federal Buildings

With momentum from the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes more than $5 billion for low-carbon materials to be used in public projects, the time is ripe for the federal government to lead the way forward on reducing embodied carbon emissions, which account for 11 percent of emissions from buildings globally.

In this webinar, RMI experts Anish Tilak and Connor Usry will provide a detailed overview of a new roadmap that charts a path to achieve zero embodied carbon from federal building projects by 2050 — a model trajectory that can be deployed across the public and private sector.

As America’s largest real estate portfolio owner and purchaser of building construction materials such as concrete and steel, the US federal government can also advance policies that catalyze markets for deeply decarbonized products such as zero-carbon cement and spur greater industrial decarbonization. This roadmap provides multiple pathways to unleashing this progress.
