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 ...
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 ...
US-based company Vulcan Materials is a major producer of aggregates-based construction materials, including asphalt and ready-mixed concrete. A couple of years ago, the company installed an Insitec ...
Researchers from UCLA’s Institute for Carbon Management have developed a method that could eliminate nearly all of the carbon dioxide emitted during the process of cement production, which accounts ...
A new study involving the University of East Anglia (UEA) shows that cement structures are a substantial but overlooked absorber of carbon emissions - offsetting some of those emitted during cement ...
Conventional thermal decomposition production of lime (left) versus STEP direct solar conversion of calcium carbonate to calcium oxide (right) eliminating CO2. (Image: Dr. Licht, University of ...
Chris Bataille is a researcher with IDDRI.org, a Paris-based sustainable-development non-governmental organization, and an adjunct professor at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada. Cement and ...
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 ...
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 ...
