Climate change calls for innovative solutions from architects, designers and material specialists. Nearly one-fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions are attributable to buildings, making it high time for an architectural revolution. New energy concepts and raw materials for energy-saving insulation can significantly reduce CO2 emissions, and polyurethane is the ideal material for climate protection.
Nanofoams made of polyurethane
Material specialists at Bayer MaterialScience are therefore working on a range of pioneering projects for climate-friendly construction and innovative materials for fuel-saving cars. With their energy-efficient polyurethane nanofoams, the material specialists aim to halve the energy consumption of refrigerators. Read here for more on the innovative methods they are using to advance climate protection in the construction and automotive industries.
