Revolutionizing Construction: Sustainable Alternatives to Cement

How does this compare the materials to traditional cement? So right now again if you know much about the production of concrete, you know that traditional cement to get to that binder is done with a clinkering process, which is a crematorium level heating process that emits a lot of negativity into the atmosphere to get to that binder. We’ve been doing it for 200 years, we’ve been burning rocks for 200 years. It has its place in our in society. It’s been the building block of of our our our world and the development of our world. What we introduce now is a alternative solution, no different than you get with an electric vehicle in the automobile industry. We’re a new innovative choice, as you would say, if you’re looking to build and develop but but also delink your development from pollution, you’re joining me from the Bahamas as you mentioned. What about the Bahamas makes that a setting for these structures important to you? Well, as I shared at the top, coming back to the Bahamas, which is home for me at a time when we were digging ourselves out of not one but you know, a multitude of continued storms. We live in hurricane alley, which as you know, the storms have gotten stronger and stronger every year. Come June 1, will be in hurricane season again. And when you’ve been on the ground in the midst of a catastrophe, in the aftermath of a hurricane, that’s 100 year storm. You hope, you hope another one doesn’t show up. But if it does, we want to be stronger, more resilient. We want to have homes that are made from a binder. That is, it does not erode when it interacts with flooding in salt water, which ours gets stronger. And we’re looking to build homes. To date. We’re slowly going underwater. We’re in the threat of being climate refugees. The more we continue to develop and the more the sea level rises on us. So we live on coast, we live in a coast, we’re surrounded by water. And so our our building materials need to be stronger and and coexist with nature in the area of of getting salt water interacting with our concrete and our binder does that successfully. So This is why I’m here. I’m here not only because I care about our country, but I I’m here on the front line and climate change. I was just in Dubai. Dubai the other day was flooded out. I landed in the midst of all of that, and I got to see and witness for five days the experience of of what climate climate disaster can look like on the ground in the Middle East. So we go where we’re We’re being called innovations needed today, today, not in 2050 or 2060, where a lot of the goals are pushed out into the future. So we go where people are willing to innovate in the Prime Minister. Bahamas is one of those to date and he’s leading in that way. And I’m not a Noble Peace Prize giver, but. In my book, he should, he should get a Nobel Peace Prize for his courage and leadership and innovation.
