Construction is a key industrial sector, and construction sites are major sources of emissions, that can lead to environmental and public health impacts. Exploring opportunities to transition to zero-emission construction sites is important not only for achieving environmental targets, but in the process can also deliver a range of co-benefits including reduced local air and noise pollution, lower operating and maintenance costs, increased energy efficiency, reduced reliance on foreign fuel, and utilisation of locally produced renewable energy. This report will provide comprehensive insight into possible pathways for decarbonising construction sites and will inform development of Government policy and industry roadmaps to support this transition.
