The Cleantech Show #005: Interview with Gary Bertuch, Hyssil - Revolutionary lightweight high strength concrete
The Cleantech Show #005 (MP3 - 13MB - 36min)
On this weeks show our guest is Gary Bertuch, the Managing Director of HySSIL Pty Ltd, a company commercialising a revolutionary new lightweight concrete technology involving the CSIRO.
Hyssil’s technology allows the production of lightweight concrete panels that have and unique combination of lower weight, higher strength, lower embodied energy and construction costs and excellent thermal properties than existing concrete products.
In the interview we learn from Gary about the massive market applications of the product and of new concrete technologies they are helping the CSIRO to commercialise.
With over 30% of emissions worldwide associated with the built environment, this technology is surely going to be a significant player in the coming years to help reduce both embodied and operating emissions from buildings and reduce the energy requirements in construction and heating.
Cheers
