This project aims to combat climate change and marks the beginning of an ambitious construction plan 999 additional ecological houses throughout the island nation.

An ambitious start

Rick Fox, CEO and co-founder of Partanna, focuses on the production of environmentally friendly building materials as the company’s core mission. Final destination Reducing pollution from construction processes.

Although Rick Fox’s star status is the impetus for this activity, the emphasis is on the innovative properties of building materials rather than the famous builder himself.

What’s the problem?

The truth is that concrete, widely used in construction, is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. Cement, a key component of concrete, is responsible for more than 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions.

In response to this concern, Partanna, led by Fox, architect Sam Marshall, and materials scientists, developed its own technology to produce concrete without carbon cement.

• Although specific details of this environmentally friendly concrete technology have not been disclosed, what is known is its ingredients. desalination plants and slag mixtureIt is a byproduct of steel production.
• A notable feature is that the mixture developed by Partanna hardens at ambient temperatureIt eliminates the need for energy-intensive furnaces often required in traditional concrete production.
• Additionally, the binding components of this innovative concrete mix are extremely capable. actively absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphereWe continue to capture and sequester greenhouse gases after construction is completed.

Thanks to such environmentally friendly practices, start-up Partanna can rightfully call its first home “carbon negative”. The company estimates that the 116 square meter building has the carbon sequestration potential equivalent to 5,200 mature trees.

Although Rick Fox’s name attracted attention at first, the focus of this news is the innovative building materials and technologies used by Partanna. The initiative offers a promising solution to reduce the impact of construction on the environment and pave the way for a greener future by developing a sustainable alternative to traditional concrete.

If this project is successful in the Bahamas, the plan is to expand the use of this innovative concrete material worldwide to reduce pollution and combat climate change on a larger scale.
