After a decade in the works, researchers at University of California, Los Angeles, have successfully devised a way to produce cement with 98% less CO2 emissions than traditional methods. The UCLA team ...

High CO2 emissions from the cement and concrete industries can be dangerous to the environment. The method offers a way to significantly reduce CO2 emissions from the cement and concrete industries, ...

The ZeroCAL approach, which can be integrated within the existing cement-production process, uses limestone feedstock to produce calcium hydroxide — which emits no carbon dioxide when burned to ...

Buildings in London. Image by Tim Sandle. Buildings in London. Image by Tim Sandle. Engineers have developed a special concrete made with carbonated solution to sequester carbon dioxide from ...

Green and sustainable-technology projects aren’t exactly in fashion in the United States federal government these days — and Cody Finke knows that personally. In May, the U.S. Department of Energy ...

A new technique can produce cement using waste from demolished buildings, which researchers say could save billions of tonnes of carbon by 2050. “We have definitely proved that cement can be recycled ...

To increase the strength of concrete, researchers are coming up with new ways to reinforce—usually with metal structures or nanofibers. A RUDN University professor with colleagues from Iran discovered ...

Cement is the main global construction material used for a plethora of different applications. It is important to optimize the production process to minimize the carbon footprint and maintain strict ...

The modern world is built on concrete, and cement is what makes it possible. You've probably heard these two terms used interchangeably, especially while watching DIY videos on YouTube. However, they ...

Not only could the new process help sequester CO 2 from the ever-warming atmosphere, it also results in concrete with uncompromised strength and durability. "More interestingly, this approach to ...
