They also put out a lot of CO2 and you'd have a hell of a lot of issues scaling the brick production to the same level. Not to mention all the othe associated issues that bricks have.
It's just a poor replacement for concrete at the same scale. But that's not to knock bricks specifically, since nothing really is a good replacement at that scale.
Best we could do is to not build as much or in such a big scale, but that has issues too.
You can bake bricks using clean energy but the chemical process for creating cement itself creates co2.... Y'all down voting and never held a brick in yer lives
You can also cpature the CO2 and use it in chemical processes where it is needed. Bizarrely often they're buying the CO2 for high price even though if capture methods were common we'd have loads of stock. And lower CO2 emission cement is already a thing that's happening, but being able to scale brick production to meet even close to the scale of concret construction is nowhere near reality.
I like bricks as a facade element but it's just not a good replacement for concrete on the whole. It will be much much easier to try and mitigate the issues concret has than to get bricks to the level of concrete construction globally.
Also I work in construction with both concrete and bricks and have been involved in mass production of both. But go off lol
An interesting document comparing both https://www.brick.org.uk/uploads/downloads/Clay-v-Concrete-Brick-A-Comparative-Guide-2022-v.3.f1675190626.pdf

Reminds me of when in uni all these industry reps would come in and praise their material over everyone else's with convincing arguments and next week someone from a competing industry would come in and do the same.
