Occupancy within the development has remained at 100% since its completion and there is a waiting list, with many residents requesting to purchase their properties outright.
We know we have a long way to go in our efforts to negate climate change and, as discussed, the benefits of carbon capture when used effectively will have a significant impact on the footprint of the plastics industry.The goal of using carbon capture in conjunction with other greener methods like green hydrogen and greener electricity is one we should strive to include more in future projects.
Gabrielli and his colleagues are determined that the industry can be defossilised and that carbon capture is the key.For the sake of our planet, we must believe that too.As we evolve our perspectives to consider how to coexist with our planet and not just take from it, we can see that industrial plastics have the potential to help make strides in reducing the carbon footprints of what we build, live in and use.
This is, after all, the spirit of Bryden Wood; to challenge what exists for the sake of progress.Therefore, I hope that we will continue to design for – and use – carbon capture and its benefits for a long time to come.. Footnotes:.

is an essential tool to help the built environment create coordinated consensus and do more to stop runaway climate change.Building new homes to the highest efficient standards is an important first step to cutting emissions from housing.
Clara Bagenal George (Associate at Elementa Consulting) who initiated LETI and is the lead editor of the report, said.‘The building industry knows that we should be designing climate-friendly buildings now, but unfortunately only a fraction of new properties are of the standard needed to meet our climate targets.’.
