If you look at any construction site, the forklifts, cranes, diggers and trucks are all powered with diesel. Lendlease wants to change that.
Construction generates 23 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, and 5.5 percentage points of that comes from powering machinery with fossil fuels such as mineral diesel. If all construction could be electrified, that would cut one-twentieth of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.
