Concrete is the second most consumed material on the planet after water, yet cement production accounts for a staggering 7% of global carbon emissions. Mission Possible Partnership, GCCA – Global Cement and Concrete Association, the World Economic Forum, and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) highlight the need for urgent decarbonization in this critical industry —?and we have a solution! Our book-and-claim platform empowers companies to act on their scope 3 emissions by supporting low-carbon cement producers and breakthrough technologies that cut emissions by up to 100%. Together, we can transform the cement industry and accelerate the shift to a sustainable, low-carbon economy.

We've joined the Book and Claim Consultative Group with RMI, a collaborative effort to accelerate the market-based adoption of low-carbon and zero-carbon commodities — a critical step in decarbonizing some of the world’s most carbon-intensive, hard-to-abate sectors. RMI leads the charge to transform the cement and concrete industries, in particular. By systematizing book-and-claim mechanisms and demand aggregation strategies at S3 Markets, we're helping channeling investments from corporations to the root causes and solutions. We believe the path to net-zero requires collaboration, innovation, and bold market-driven solutions like those being led by RMI.

Our platform empowers organizations to reduce scope 3 emissions while driving economic growth and unlocking impactful investments. While the government stalls, we’re here, ready to help you navigate this transformative space. Accelerate your journey to net-zero and prove that the market can lead the way. #MissionPossible #Sustainability #LowCarbonEconomy #NetZero

At S3 Markets, we’re proud to support C-Crete Technologies, a materials science pioneer focused on developing infrastructure materials with ultra-low or negative CO2 footprints. By transforming the construction industry, C-Crete is addressing one of the largest sources of global emissions. Through the S3 Markets book-and-claim platform, we’re helping aggregate demand for C-Crete’s products, enabling companies to invest in low-carbon concrete. Together, we’re making it easier for businesses to reduce their carbon footprint while supporting the growth of cutting-edge technologies that drive the decarbonization of the construction sector. We believe C-Crete is on the front lines of the global transition to a net-zero economy, and we’re excited to support their work in building a better, more sustainable future.

?? congrats to Talus Renewables for this huge milestone in bringing modular ultra low carbon ammonia to the North American market. #decarbonization #ammonia #netzero

"After watching students and managers read, interpret, and talk about this distinction between sustaining and disruptive technologies, we have observed a stunningly common human tendency to take a new concept, new data, or new way of thinking and morph it so that it?fits one’s existing mental models. Hence, many people have equated our use of the term?sustaining innovation?with their preexisting frame of?“incremental”?innovation, and they have equated the term?disruptive technology?with the words?radical, breakthrough, out-of-the-box,?or?different. They then conclude that disruptive ideas (as they define the term) are good and merit investment. We regret that this happens, because our?findings relate to a very specific definition of disruptiveness, as stated in our text here." - Clayton Christensen and Michael Raynor from "The Innovator’s Solution" Michael Raynor of S3 Markets joined us in our tribute to the life, work and theories of Clayton Christensen. Michael is co-author of "The Innovator’s Solution: Creating and Sustaining Successful Growth".

We are helping companies tackle their toughest emissions — those hidden deep within their supply chains. One commodity we’re transforming through our innovative platform is zero- and low-carbon STEEL! We bridge the gap between the breakthrough technologies that can cut emissions by 80%-100% and the carbon credit markets — accelerating the transition to a more sustainable steel industry. We’re focused on attracting private capital to these game-changing technologies — allowing them to enter the global market faster. We’re incredibly excited to empower today’s largest companies to reduce their Scope 3 emissions while propelling the world toward net-zero. If you’re ready to act and make a real impact, let’s talk about how we can work together. Saman Baghestani | Michael Raynor | #Scope3

Cement is a key material in construction, but traditional production methods are a major source of carbon emissions. Transitioning to lower-carbon intensity cement is absolutely vital for meeting net-zero targets in the construction sector and for driving a fundamental shift toward a sustainable, zero-emissions future. What you might not know is that your company's scope 3 footprint has a lot more concrete in that you might think. We can show you why and how much. Better yet, our novel platform connects low-carbon cement producers with companies’ net-zero strategies, offering seamless access to carbon credit markets and supporting the shift to sustainable building materials. Could you benefit here? Let’s discuss how we can help accelerate your net-zero progress! Saman Baghestani | Michael Raynor #Insets #Steel #Scope3 #MRV #CDR #SupplyChain #Sustainability?

While in Davos at the World Economic Forum, S3 Markets Co-Founder and CEO Saman Baghestani participated in a thought-provoking panel discussion titled "Decarbonizing Commodities through Carbon Markets" during Climate Scale-Up's Deal Day, moderated by Jason Jay of the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative. Alongside Jean-Baptiste De Cuyper of DEME Group, Thomas Annicq of oneshot.earth, and Filipe Blackwood Oliveira of TPG, we explored the complexities of addressing emissions from hard-to-abate sectors like cement, steel, and ammonia. These industries have always been difficult to regulate, but we explained that viable solutions already exist to decarbonize them. The main challenge, however, is cost — these solutions aren’t yet affordable enough to scale effectively. A particularly enlightening example came from a clean hydrogen company, showcasing Europe’s stringent mass balancing system, which traces molecules from production to end-use. While these regulatory frameworks are crucial for transparency and accountability, they also present challenges when scaling decarbonized solutions in these critical industries. This is where carbon markets and our unique book-and-claim system come in. By creating a more dynamic and scalable framework for tracking and trading environmental attributes as virtual insets, we can drive down the cost of zero-carbon solutions and unlock additional funding for producers. This approach allows us to support existing solutions to grow — with the right incentives and market structures. We believe that systems like ours are essential for enabling the transition to a sustainable future, driving innovation, and making decarbonization achievable for the industries that need it most.
