This challenge calls for innovative solutions to reimagine and transform the city of San Francisco.
Our goal is to cultivate an ecosystem of organizations that can revitalize its downtown and grow its position as a leader in sustainability
innovation.
Cities are home to a growing majority of the world’s population and account for more than 80% of the global GDP. Despite occupying only 3%
of the world’s land, cities account for two-thirds of the global energy demand and 70% of CO2 emissions.
As cities prepare for continued growth — with an estimated 2.5 billion new residents by 2050 — they face the dual challenge of ensuring
sustainable urban development while also delivering an improved quality of life and economic opportunities for all residents. A sustainable city
starts with a sustainable foundation. It is possible to modify existing spaces to reduce embodied carbon and operational emissions to boost
resilience to climate change. Retrofits, novel flexible use models, and nature-based solutions can bring new life and value to underutilized or
antiquated spaces.
This brings us to the geographic focus of this challenge: the city of San Francisco, which has a long history of environmental leadership. By
driving urban sustainability efforts, San Francisco can grow as a role model for green cities, promoting climate resilience and sustainability.

What's the problem?
Construction processes contribute a staggering 39% of global carbon emissions, according to the World Green Building Council. This statistic not only highlights
a pressing problem but also presents a significant opportunity to instigate environmental change by reinventing the industry with novel construction materials.
By 2030, the USA alone will require an additional 28 million homes, marking a significant surge, driven by the prevailing housing affordability crisis and changing
demographics. With current construction methods and codes, these new structures will contribute an extra 1.2 billion metric tonnes of greenhouse gases to our
annual carbon footprint.
Moreover, the USA's existing buildings are already significant contributors to emissions, releasing approximately 2.2 billion metric tonnes of greenhouse gases
each year. To achieve our Net Zero targets, we must revolutionize not only the materials we use but also our overall approach to construction.
The need for change is clear and urgent. We must transition from traditional methods to sustainable alternatives, transforming buildings from being part of the
problem to becoming an integral part of the solution. In this context, Beyond Sustainable Corporation is committed to shaping a sustainable future by turning this
challenge into an opportunity.

How does the solution address the problem?
Our solution at Beyond Sustainable Corporation is distinctively at the nexus of innovative technology and sustainable practices. This unique blend is
best exemplified by our groundbreaking advancement, where we successfully merged bio-carbon (an advanced quality of biochar) with our proprietary
polymer technology.
The process behind this advancement is deeply rooted in our commitment to sustainability and carbon sequestration. Biochar, which is a form of charcoal
produced from plant matter, is widely recognized for its ability to improve soil fertility and to capture and store carbon, helping to mitigate climate change.
By enhancing the biochar to create our unique bio-carbon, we significantly improved its carbon storage capabilities.
The real game-changer, however, was the combination of our bio-carbon with a proprietary polymer. The resultant novel material is nothing short of
revolutionary, as it holds the remarkable ability to store up to ten times more carbon than current wood-based alternatives.
This means that when used in the construction industry, for instance, our innovative material not only contributes to carbon-negative buildings but does
so in a manner that is vastly more efficient and effective than traditional methods. The substantial increase in carbon storage capacity represents a
seismic shift in the potential for sustainable construction and carbon sequestration.
