@jschwartzhoff - I like your devil’s advocate position, and I think it plays. Without this financial mechanism, these technologies will never get off the ground. It is still a win in the end, because we are getting lower carbon concretes and other materials. The offset component is really only a murky accounting situation on the LCA side.
So then… If I’m reading between the lines… with your LCAs, for example - you are indeed taking credit for Carbon Cure’s sequestration at the building level, despite that sequestration being accounted for elsewhere through a 3rd party offset.
I am sort of leaning this direction, though warning the client that this is technically being counted elsewhere.
Thanks
