How can we make concrete carbon-neutral?
Category: Engineering
Status: Queued
Cement production accounts for about 7-8% of global CO2 emissions, primarily from the calcination of limestone. Alternative chemistries (geopolymers, CarbiCrete), CCS-equipped kilns, and supplementary cementitious materials each address part of the problem.
Whether any approach can match Portland cement's combination of cost, scale and durability is unresolved.
