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 ...

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 ...

Researchers around the world are working to find ways to make concrete greener, including at the University of Pennsylvania.

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 ...

Humans produce around 4.4 billion tons of concrete every year. That process consumes around 8 billion tons of sand (out of the 40-50 billion tons used annually) which has, in part, led to acute ...

Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials, but its production is a significant source of carbon emissions due to the energy-intensive process of cement manufacturing. As the ...

Recycled glass can be converted into a pozzolan in concrete that’s not only more sustainable and durable than traditional concrete, but reduces the urban heat-island effect because of its white color.

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 ...

US researchers have developed Enzymatic Structural Material (ESM), a carbon-negative alternative to concrete that ...

July 2023 was the hottest month ever recorded. Scorching heat, droughts, a disruption of the polar jet stream, and record-high ocean surface temperatures offer just a taste of how climate change is ...

Azerbaijan’s circular economy and reducing virgin raw material dependency. BAKU, AZERBAIJAN, December 31, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — Norm OJSC has successfully completed an industrial-scale trial to co ...

In a sweet twist to sustainable construction, researchers from Idaho State University's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering have discovered that swapping a portion of cement in concrete ...
