Debunked sorry mate. The energy embodiment of clay bricks is 2.5Mj/kg where concrete blocks is only 1.5Mj/kg. Glue and concrete blocks are better than clay and mortar. Though the concrete component in mortar that goes in to a wall is small.

It's far greener to build with concrete blocks/glue than clay/mortar.

Lightweight homes are the key to green homes. Stick build are far less energy intensive than brick or concrete block.

Making lightweight blocks would make a big difference which I am sure WB are all over. Similarly hollowing out concrete blocks at much as possible reduces the amount of concrete needed and thus the energy required to build.

greetings, the European union wants to lower co2 emissions by using low carbon and recyclable building materials this is why, wienerberger said in their pdfs that clay is the future and not concrete

go read the scientific studies on concrete, they all point to concrete being less environmental friendly compared to natural materials that can be reused

the green deal includes a circular economy and it will cost 1 trillion euros and will be implemented by fully by 2050
