FacebookIndia: Gypcrete Project to replace clay bricks
This project undertaken by the World Bank’s Community Development Carbon Fund aims to construct a manufacturing facility to produce gypcrete building panels. The process of manufacturing gypcrete building panels uses phosphogypsum, a byproduct of fertilizer production and will be less energy intensive than the manufacturing of clay bricks and cement that gypcrete will replace, thus leading to reduced GHG emissions. Gypcrete is a lighter and stronger material than conventional material. It is also more earthquake, corrosion and fire resistant, while manufacturing costs are likely to be cheaper than conventional building materials.
Date Implemented: 2008
Status: Under development
Funding Information: World Bank Community Development Carbon Fund
Targets: This project will lead to emissions reductions of 430,596 tCO2 equivalent over a period of 10 years.
