“The future of humanity will be built not just with concrete, but with conscience,” declares Sahit Muja, CEO of Albanian Minerals. Facing the unprecedented demand for 3 billion homes by 2030, his revolutionary green cement, Olix, transforms construction into a carbon-negative frontier, capturing CO₂, restoring ecosystems, and redefining the very architecture of sustainable civilization.

Sahit Muja said; The global construction industry stands at a crossroads, facing an unprecedented challenge that intertwines human development with environmental responsibility. By 2030, approximately three billion people will require adequate housing, encompassing basic services such as water, sanitation, and secure land tenure. Presently, around 1.6 billion people live in substandard housing, underscoring an immediate need for large-scale construction interventions. Meeting this demand would require the construction of roughly 96,000 new affordable homes each day, a scale of activity that would strain traditional materials and energy systems while further exacerbating climate change. Conventional cement production alone contributes approximately four billion tons of CO₂ emissions annually, representing one of the largest industrial sources of greenhouse gases globally.

In the midst of this dual crisis of housing shortage and environmental degradation, innovation emerges as both necessity and opportunity. Green Cement, this technology under development by Albanian Minerals and Green Natural Wonders called Olix, is a revolutionary green cement derived from abundant magnesium silicates that exemplifies this innovation. Unlike traditional Portland cement, which releases carbon dioxide during calcination and requires energy-intensive production, Olix captures CO₂ as it cures, creating carbon-negative concrete. This approach not only mitigates emissions but also produces a more durable material, capable of withstanding the demands of large-scale urban construction. By turning a principal contributor to global warming into a carbon sink, New tech Olix transforms the very act of building into a mechanism for environmental restoration.

Urbanization trends indicate that the majority of construction demand will be concentrated in Asia-Pacific and Africa. Asia-Pacific is projected to require more than two billion new housing units by 2030, driven primarily by China, India, and Southeast Asian nations. Africa, experiencing some of the highest urban growth rates worldwide, will require an estimated 800 million new units within the same timeframe. Europe and North America, while experiencing slower population growth, face significant needs in retrofitting and modernization, aligning with increasingly stringent energy efficiency and green building mandates. Latin America, too, will see substantial construction activity as governments strive to meet affordable housing targets. These regional patterns present both urgent challenges and substantial opportunities for deploying low-carbon construction materials at scale.

The environmental footprint of traditional cement production is vast. The process involves heating limestone to approximately 1,450 degrees Celsius, releasing CO₂ both from fossil fuel combustion and from the chemical transformation of calcium carbonate into calcium oxide. Each ton of conventional cement produces roughly 0.9 tons of CO₂, consumes up to four gigajoules of energy, and requires significant quantities of water and other raw materials. The widespread reliance on this method has contributed to the accumulation of 2.3 trillion tons of CO₂ in the atmosphere, a central driver of global warming and its cascading impacts on ecosystems, weather systems, and human health.

Olix represents a fundamental departure from this paradigm. Harnessing olivine, a magnesium silicate mineral abundant in Albanian reserves, Olix cement reacts with CO₂ during curing to form stable magnesium carbonates, permanently sequestering carbon while enhancing material strength and durability. Its production requires less energy than traditional methods—approximately 2.5 gigajoules per ton compared with four for Portland cement, and utilizes water more efficiently. Lifecycle assessments demonstrate that the use of Olix can transform the construction sector from a net emitter of four billion tons of CO₂ annually to a potential net sink of up to four billion tons, depending on adoption rates and scale of implementation. The combination of reduced energy requirements, carbon sequestration, and extended material lifespan positions Olix as a transformative tool for sustainable urban development.

Market opportunities for Olix and similar green construction materials are substantial. The global green cement market is projected to exceed $1.2 trillion by 2035, fueled by urbanization, corporate environmental commitments, and regulatory mandates such as carbon pricing and green procurement policies. Europe represents the largest near-term investment opportunity, driven by the European Union’s Green Deal and retrofitting initiatives for energy efficiency. Asia-Pacific, led by the rapid expansion of urban centers in China, India, and Southeast Asia, represents both the largest construction challenge and a key opportunity for scaling carbon-negative materials. North America and the Middle East are poised for growth in ESG-driven construction and infrastructure modernization, while Africa and Latin America present emerging markets with high demand for affordable and sustainable housing solutions.

Policy frameworks and regulatory incentives will play a decisive role in the adoption of carbon-negative cement. Carbon pricing mechanisms, green procurement mandates, and building code revisions can accelerate the transition toward low-carbon construction. Public-private partnerships, particularly in social housing and infrastructure development, can serve as catalysts for large-scale adoption, providing both financial incentives and credibility to innovative construction practices. Aligning policy frameworks with technological innovation ensures that environmental gains are not offset by market inertia or regulatory misalignment.

The future of urban construction requires a paradigm shift that integrates sustainability at every stage of development. Scaling the production and distribution of carbon-negative cement like Olix necessitates coordinated action across governments, investors, researchers, and construction firms. Investment in supply chain infrastructure, research into further material optimization, and integration into urban planning and housing strategies are essential to unlock the full potential of green construction materials. By adopting carbon-negative building solutions, societies can address housing shortages while simultaneously contributing to climate mitigation, creating a virtuous cycle in which infrastructure development becomes a driver of environmental restoration.

In conclusion, the construction sector sits at the nexus of human development and climate responsibility. Rapid urbanization and population growth demand unprecedented levels of housing and infrastructure, while conventional building materials exacerbate global emissions. Carbon-negative solutions like Olix cement redefine the possibilities of sustainable construction, offering a pathway to simultaneously meet human needs and mitigate climate impact.

Adoption at scale represents not only a technological innovation but a moral and strategic imperative, ensuring that the growth of cities and societies does not come at the expense of planetary health. By transforming the act of building into an act of restoration, the global construction sector can evolve into a net positive force, securing both habitable spaces for humanity and a resilient future for the planet.
