photocatalytic cement

‘The increased sustainable use of harvested wood products can substantially limit emissions by the substitution effect (considering the energy and CO intensity of other sectors, e.g. cement production accounts for roughly 8 % of global CO emissions),’

This is because the remedies offered only access to a storage facility without existing customers, brands, sales staff or established access to cement.

Considering SGIs as the cement of the EU’s social and territorial cohesion, and considering quality SGIs as a real support for economic development and job creation, your rapporteur feels it is desirable for the Commission to propose, though without anticipating the work of the European Parliament, a Charter of Services of General Interest: an official text developing the concept of a common value as set out in Article 16 of the EC Treaty, specifying the principles and conditions under which SGIs can accomplish their mission, which can serve as a reference in seeking balance between their economic dimension and their social dimension.

In 2002, after 7000 square metres of road surface in Milan, Italy, were covered with a photo-catalytic cement-like material, there was up to 60% reduction in the concentration of nitrogen oxides at street level.
