The continuous development of building and infrastructure in the Philippines has resulted in higher CO2 emissions as the country remains reliant on fossil fuels for energy generation as well as the production of various industrial materials such as cement. With the unabated increase in CO2 emissions causing a range of negative impacts, it is important that the country transitions to greener options.
