Estimating embodied carbon
In response to global and local sustainability commitments, Downer is actively driving efforts to reduce carbon emissions throughout infrastructure lifecycles. Our whitepaper, titled “Estimating embodied carbon,” offers a comprehensive exploration of carbon estimation using a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach.
Drawing on valuable insights gained from interviews with procurement organisations and practical case studies like the City Rail Link in Auckland, this whitepaper presents a holistic perspective which aims to add to the industry conversation.
While challenges exist, Downer remains dedicated in its commitment to aligning with climate goals, fostering industry collaboration, adopting low-carbon solutions, and being a leader in a cultural shift towards sustainability. The strategies discussed in this whitepaper covers innovative valuation methods, strengthened collaboration, and the promotion of carbon literacy.
