The Regina Road Carbon Solution
The key to abating large carbon figures through building projects lies in leveraging embodied carbon reduction and potential carbon sequestration within the development itself.
Cost Benefit Analysis
Carbon Abatement Value
Social Benefits
225 Affordable Homes
Providing quality housing and community amenities
Economic Growth
Local Economic Impact
Job creation and support for local suppliers
Massive Carbon Savings
Building 340 new homes with 90% less embodied carbon than conventional methods by using salvaged demolition materials, timber, and low-carbon concrete.
Verified Carbon Trading
Access our secure marketplace for validated carbon credits, connecting with high-quality offset projects across London.
Tradable Carbon Credits
The 'Net Zero Now' framework (ISO 14067-aligned) will verify carbon savings, turning them into valuable Voluntary Emission Reduction Certificates (VERCs).
Local Offset Funding
Croydon Council can purchase locally generated VERCs from the project, creating an internal transfer that directly contributes to meeting net-zero targets.
Carbon Sequestration
Active carbon removal through integrated green infrastructure in the design of new homes, community spaces, and nursery.
Extensive Green Walls and Roofs
Substantial in size and containing diverse planting to maximize CO2 absorption.
Urban Greening and Trees
Planting new trees and robust vegetation around the site for long-term carbon capture.
Measurement Framework
Quantifying projected carbon sequestration over the lifespan of green elements.
Drastic Reduction in Embodied Carbon
Achieving a 90% reduction in carbon footprint compared to conventional building methods.
Mass Timber Construction
Prioritizing engineered timber (CLT, Glulam) for structural elements. Timber sequesters carbon during growth, making it a "carbon sink" within the building.
Low-Carbon Concrete
Using ultra-low carbon concrete mixes with high percentages of GGBS or fly ash replacements, or innovative new binders where concrete is unavoidable.
Recycled/Reused Steel
Maximizing recycled content where steel is needed, reducing the carbon footprint associated with virgin steel production.
Recycled Materials
Incorporating sustainable recycled materials including PP plastic, crushed rock aggregates, recycled glass, and textile fibers, finished with eco-friendly natural stains.
Circular Economy Principles
Designing for disassembly and future reuse of materials, minimizing waste and maximizing resource efficiency.
