A sustainability-focused construction approach is being implemented in Hong Kong as Gammon Construction<\/span><\/span>, a subsidiary of Balfour Beatty<\/span><\/span>, partners with Hongkong Land<\/span><\/span> to deploy low-carbon concrete at the Landmark retail precinct. The initiative integrates carbon dioxide mineralisation technology developed by CarbonCure<\/span><\/span>, marking a notable application of emissions-reduction techniques in a major urban redevelopment project.<\/p>\n The system functions by injecting captured CO\u2082 into freshly mixed concrete, triggering a chemical process that converts the gas into a stable mineral permanently embedded within the material. This approach is paired with a modified concrete formulation incorporating approximately 40% ground granulated blast-furnace slag, enabling a reduction in cement usage of up to 7% while maintaining structural performance. According to Gammon, this combination delivers a 34% reduction in carbon emissions compared to conventional concrete, reinforcing the viability of low-carbon concrete in large-scale commercial construction.<\/p>\n Regulatory approval for the use of CarbonCure\u2019s solution was granted by Hong Kong\u2019s Buildings Department in September 2025, following an 18-month evaluation phase. Beyond concrete innovation, the Tomorrow\u2019s Central redevelopment project is adopting additional sustainability measures, including the use of 100% green rebar and fully sustainable timber. The three-year programme focuses on upgrading the Landmark complex through fa\u00e7ade enhancements and interior refurbishments spanning offices and lobby areas.<\/p>\n Eddie Tse, Gammon Construction Group\u2019s sustainability manager, said: \u201cBy permanently mineralising carbon within building materials and reducing cement use, lower carbon concrete represents a meaningful step forward in embodied-carbon reduction. \u201cWith this successful deployment, we look forward to extending similar innovations across the industry and collaborating with more clients to drive low-carbon construction in Hong Kong.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
