Hongkong Land Deploys CarbonCure In Hong Kong

15 Apr 2026 CW Team

Hongkong Land and Gammon Construction have partnered to introduce CarbonCure technology in Hong Kong, marking its debut at the Tomorrow’s CENTRAL project. The collaboration aims to advance low-carbon construction practices in the region.

The technology reduces cement content by 4–7 per cent by injecting captured CO2 into fresh concrete, where it mineralises and becomes permanently embedded. Combined with a mix containing around 40 per cent ground granulated blast-furnace slag, it delivers up to 34 per cent lower emissions compared to conventional concrete.

The initiative supports Hongkong Land’s target of reducing Scope 3 carbon intensity by 22 per cent by 2030. The project also aims to use 100 per cent low-carbon concrete, green rebar, and sustainable timber, while diverting 75 per cent of construction waste.

Tomorrow’s CENTRAL, a three-year redevelopment plan announced in 2024, focuses on upgrading retail and commercial infrastructure with sustainability at its core. The CarbonCure solution was deployed recently following regulatory approval after extensive testing.

The move marks a significant step towards reducing embodied carbon in construction and is expected to encourage wider adoption of low-carbon materials across the industry.
