KNUST Turns to Quantum Computing to Crack Ghana's Building Code Barrier

What if the future of sustainable construction in Africa lies beneath our feet?

At KNUST’s TCC-CIMET research centre, scientists are turning to quantum computing to help validate Ghana’s abundant laterite-clay and agricultural fibre composites for use in certified construction. The research aims to generate the reliable performance data needed for these low-carbon, locally sourced materials to meet building code standards.

Building on the RENABUMA and BUCABUMA projects, the initiative combines digital fabrication, material science, and hybrid quantum-classical algorithms to accelerate testing and optimisation processes that traditionally take months.

If successful, the work could transform how Ghana and other African countries approach affordable, climate-resilient construction using local natural resources and agricultural waste materials.
