Cemex Presents: On the Path to Net-Zero: The Role of Materials and Collaboration
Wednesday, November 5, 2025 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM · 1 hr. (US/Pacific)
Information
What does it take to utilize new materials targeting net zero on large-scale data infrastructure projects? This panel brings together partners from Cemex, Prometheus Materials, and a leading design–build contractor to explore how integrated collaboration across the value chain is setting new benchmarks for sustainable construction in the hyperscale space.
Attendees will get a behind-the-scenes look at how this cross-functional team aligns on ambitious carbon goals, incorporates innovative materials like lower-carbon concrete, and applies carbon budgeting strategies to push toward net-zero targets. Drawing on several large-scale data infrastructure projects, the presentation will highlight practical lessons learned and the evolving role of material science, procurement, and construction coordination in reducing embodied carbon at scale.
This discussion offers both inspiration and technical insight for teams navigating similar sustainability ambitions, especially those delivering large-scale, high-performance infrastructure.
