CARBON FOOTPRINT OF BFRP REBAR
Basalt fiber is friendly to the environment, Comparing BFRP Rebar production to steel; it reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 5.24 tons of coal equivalent per ton.
CO2 emissions act like a blanket in the air, trapping heat in the atmosphere, and warming up the Earth.
The WHO calls climate change the greatest threat to global health in the 21st century.
If you are a policymaker or a decision maker, then you can make a difference.
The amount of CO2 emissions from steel manufacturing is almost double the amount of steel created:
1.85 tons of carbon per 1 ton of steel.
This makes steel the world’s fifth largest contributor to CO2 emissions!
We need to do something about it.
Rebar made from Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer has less than 74% the carbon footprint of steel and basalt has the lowest environmental impact in a Life-Cycle Assessment compared with other Fiber Reinforced Polymer rebar for concrete reinforcement construction applications.
Basalt fiber is friendly to the environment, Comparing BFRP Rebar production to steel; it reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 5.24 tons of coal equivalent per ton.
BFRP Rebar has a drastically reduced impact on the environment (10:1) when compared with fiberglass products.
Basalt fiber is all natural and produced from stone; without additives typically found in other materials such as glass fiber reinforcements.
At Arab Basalt Fiber Company, our composites have zero environmental impact and we use the latest technology to reduce CO2 emissions and negative impact on the environment.
Policy makers are primarily responsible for spreading awareness about this product.
Be a part of our mission for a better future.
