Loofah, plays an indirect but significant role in carbon capture and storage, absorbing CO2 during its growth. The carbon sequestered within the fibers of loofah is effectively stored throughout its lifecycle and composting. By integrating loofah into construction, particularly in the development of an innovative adobe brick for load-bearing walls, I propose a comprehensive strategy aimed at reducing CO2 emissions. Given concrete’s substantial contribution to carbon production in the construction sector, my objective is to substitute it in over 50% of building construction applications. This experiment seeks to revolutionize traditional construction methods by leveraging loofah’s integration as a construction material.
