(Phys.org) -- While the largest contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is the power industry, the second largest is the more often overlooked cement industry, which accounts for 5-6% of ...

MIT researchers used laser imaging to reveal how CO2 injection creates hidden chemistry in cement, boosting strength by 13% ...

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 ...

Cement production is the second-largest industrial contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, but its carbon footprint could be dramatically reduced with a new low-cost, scalable approach ...

Cement is necessary for making concrete, which is foundational in constructing buildings and infrastructure around the globe because it is relatively low-cost, strong and durable. But making cement ...

Norway’s Statoil saves hundreds of millions of euro in avoided carbon taxes by using CCS. Since 1996, the Sleipner gas field has stored about one million tonnes CO2 a year. A second project in the ...

For true zero carbon cement, the process can draw pure calcium from impurities in silica, magnesium, iron or aluminum, for example, refining them into higher-grade materials in the process. Crucially, ...

Concrete and steel are the two biggest industrial products that aren’t fossil fuels, and have a massive climate footprint. They are used together in reinforced concrete, the structural solution that ...

Pouring your own concrete driveway can be an excellent DIY task. However, to ensure a long-lasting and durable result, avoid ...
