Concrete production, responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions, typically lasts 50-100 years. Extending its durability to 200 years or more would significantly reduce the 4 billion tons of CO2 produced annually by its manufacture.

Our guest, Martin Halliwell, holds over 10 patents for "Earth honoring systems" designed to lower CO2 emissions in construction. His innovations include more durable concrete and integrated geothermal and windmill installations.
