(AOF) – Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies announces the signature of a partnership with Inuk in order to certify and value its carbon credits. In order to move towards carbon neutrality at the global level, companies must maximize their contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The Hoffmann Green Company, whose industrial activity directly contributes to the decarbonization of the construction sector, has decided to market its carbon credits for the benefit of companies wishing to contribute to this objective of global carbon neutrality.
These carbon credits correspond to the “CO2eq” avoided thanks to the use of 0% clinker cements developed by Hoffmann Green. As such, Hoffmann cements have been the subject of an in-depth study on all the criteria relating to the voluntary carbon offsetting market (measurability, additionality, uniqueness, permanence) in order to guarantee their eligibility for this mechanism.
All of this certification work has been entrusted to Inuk, operator and carbon contribution certifier.

Lack of visibility
The National Union of Quarry and Building Materials Industries (Unicem) indicates that, after an initial downturn in the second quarter, activity continued to deteriorate in the third quarter and recorded a drop in both aggregates (-1.3 %) than on ready-mixed concrete (-0.9%). Over the first nine months of the year, the decline was 2% for the materials business as a whole. Only tiles and bricks manage to show slight increases in activity.
The general outlook is deteriorating and recruitment difficulties and rising costs are the main sources of concern. Furthermore, Unicem underlines the difficulties in implementing the projects. The production of materials could decline this year by 3% for ready-mixed concrete (BPE) and 4% for aggregates.
